<p>The Summer C term begins Monday June 30. No move in date listed yet on the housing web site</p>
<p>The Fall 2008 term starts Monday August 25th. Housing site says dorms will be open for move-in at 9am on wednesday August 20th.</p>
<p>Sounds like Seminole Sensation Week will be a lot shorter this year.</p>
<p>i know. that's too bad. we were there on the last weekend of it lthis past august and it was a lot of fun. Hopefully they will do something next august as well I am sure they will</p>
<p>something seems wierd with that opening date, I always thought they opened on saturday's and i can't imagined a shortened seminole sensation week.</p>
<p>i agree, but that's what the web site says... for now.</p>
<p>Florida</a> State University Housing - Undergraduate Housing Rental Rates</p>
<p>None of the other state schools had 9 days of pre-semester activities so perhaps FSU has decided to be more in line with the other universities. I guess this could be a cost cutting measure.</p>
<p>i emailed housing over the weekend to ask if they knew when the dorms would open for summer c. I explained that we want to start making our travel plans from new york (flights etc) asap.</p>
<p>just got an email back. dorms for summer C 2008 will open 9am wednesday June 25. Classes begin monday June 30th.</p>
<p>Question:</p>
<p>I really would rather not pay the 225 deposit for housing, considering that I am waiting for UF's decision and I am confident that I will be admitted. </p>
<p>My question is if I don't pay and I wait until February 16th (the day after the UF decision), will there still be some housing available? </p>
<p>Responses needed quickly because I only have 4 days left on my priority :/</p>
<p>The one thing in your favor is that the next round of notifications is Feb 20, so once you hear on the 15th, I would get a number if your need one. By Feb 16, My guess is that your number could be 3000. By Feb 21 it could be 6000. You will get all but $50 back. Might not be a bad investment. If you are superstitious, pay the deposit, then you won't need it ;)</p>
<p>last year i applied in feb and my priority number was 3400</p>
<p>I just want to make sure that I will get a dorm. Preference isn't important to me as long as it isn't a triple. With ~3000 priority number, will I still be able to find a double?</p>
<p>last year i had a friend who had a 5000 priority number and got into a double in degraff, but last year most people had no clue what degraff was and that it was new so this year you probably end up on the westside with a 3000 priority number.,meaning salley, smith, etc.</p>
<p>And one little comment...last year i was confident i was going to UF, i had a 28 act score and 3.5 uw gpa and a 5.2 wieghted gpa, and an ib diploma candiate, and i got flat out rejected so i'm glad that you feel confident about your chances but UF is so unpredicatable that I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice guys, but for different reasons I'm going to hold out until the 15th. It's just a waiting game again..</p>

<p>I hope you get into UF. Good luck, but know that if for some reason you don't ... FSU is a great place as well.</p>
<p>Thanks nycollegedad, I appreciate it. </p>
<p>It's because of people like you, parent2noles, SSobick (UF forum), and many more that my college application process has been a rather delightful experience.</p>
<p>Vincanity,</p>
<p>I must warn you that once you become a "gator", I won't be able to be as nice to you.... lol</p>
<p>By that point, I'm not so sure it'll hurt too much :P</p>
<p>Hang in there, 2-15-08 will be here before you know it. i hope its a good day for you!</p>
