<p>Are freshman guaranteed housing? Can you select your roommates? How hard is it to get a suite? If you have a group of 4 is there a chance to get a 4 person suite together?</p>
<p>Sorry to hijack the thread, but I also have some questions. What’s the latest date we can send in our deposit and still get housing? I want to get my finaid package before I commit to Temple, but that won’t be until around March, right? Is that too late?</p>
<p>In case anyone else comes looking, housing is never guaranteed at Temple, and February is a great time to submit the deposit. By March 1st you may be looking at fewer options.
As for the other questions I’d love to hear those answers! I’m going to search the threads started by TU students.</p>
<p>My D is a sophomore at Temple.
Freshman housing in NOT guaranteed. The sooner you send in your deposit the earlier your date will be to sign up for housing. The dorms with suites usually get filled up first. You book your housing sort of like an airline seat. You pick the dorm, floor, room, & exact slot in the room. There are detailed floor & room floor plans on the housing page.
If you want to pick your roommate(s) ahead of time, you’ll need to sign up at the same time to make sure that you’ll be together. </p>
<p>Not sure the latest date you can send in your deposit & still get housing. A lot of people, even if they are unsure, pay their deposit & book their housing anyway. You’ll lose your deposit if you go elsewhere, but if might be worth it.</p>
