Housing and Billing?

<p>^sorry, I edited it for you.</p>

<p>^Haa, thank you for the correction. :)</p>

<p>^Hum. You’re entirely right. I’ll get to that right now.</p>

<p>@CasaAtreides, dont be jealous of me (well, at least yet:p) I dont know where I’ll be yet, but I’m praying its Apley Court since its a flippin’ palace (well, as far as dorms go;))</p>

<p>Not sure if anyone has posted this yet but someone made an interactive map of all the freshman dorms: [Frosh</a> Dorms Project: Graphical Map](<a href=“http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~trishin/sergey/galleries/2004/froshdorms/]Frosh”>http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~trishin/sergey/galleries/2004/froshdorms/)</p>

<p>I’m in Ivy!!! I can’t wait to find out which dorm I’m in and who my roommates are. And just wondering, does anyone know how seriously they take the housing app that we filled out earlier this year??</p>

<p>Oh, and on the site of that link ^^^^ you can click on the dorms for pics of the inside and descriptions.</p>

<p>Thanks bubblebuddy! This is really convenient for everyone. :slight_smile: I think they take the housing application seriously and in most cases, they do a really swell job of matching you up.</p>

<p>Hmm, now that I think about it…I may have come off too strongly on mine. Explains why I’m in the isolated quarters… oh well :)</p>

<p>Thanks for that link. It was really helpful to get a feel for the dorms.</p>

<p>Someone posted this on fb about how roommates are matched: [Freshman</a> Roommates, Meet Your Makers | The Harvard Crimson](<a href=“http://www.thecrimson.harvard.edu/article/2005/8/12/freshman-roommates-meet-your-makers-it/]Freshman”>http://www.thecrimson.harvard.edu/article/2005/8/12/freshman-roommates-meet-your-makers-it/)</p>

<p>Eff my life. :mad:</p>

<p>I haven’t heard from anyone yet. I’ve heard that Harvard students sleep in the library - I guess the lack of communication means I’ve been assigned Stack 7.</p>

<p>This is some “priority mail.” Jeez!</p>

<p>/aggravation</p>

<p>^Dear CasaAtreides, you always make my day :). I haven’t heard back either, if that makes you feel any better:/.</p>

<p>Well, if you look at it optimistically, the longer it takes for the mail to come means that they might have decided to squeeze in a few extra hours to match us up well. I can wait as long as it takes… And who knows, the cute little cat may have been shuffling up the papers because of this incredible sixth sense…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Aw, you’re a sweetheart! :-*</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Or it means we were the leftover pile thrown together at random.</p>

<p>Well, the fact that the links for Elm, Oak, and Ivy are all active might mean those mailings were already sent out (read the description). The fact the the link for Crimson does not exist is making me nervous : O </p>

<p>

Well, you might get the full college learning experience then. Imagine getting a roommate with a completely different perception of the world from your own. That would be fun. As long as he or she is not a secret mental serial killer, of course. That is my worst fear…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Let’s be friendly here; there’s no need for such a patronizing tone.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Well, that’s exactly what I asked for, so that’s what I hope I get.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Eh, I wouldn’t mind too much. ;)</p>

<p>I’m sure they are done with everyone at this point.</p>

<p>*Or it means we were the leftover pile thrown together at random. *</p>

<p>I feel so unloved :/</p>

<p>*Imagine getting a roommate with a completely different perception of the world from your own. That would be fun. As long as he or she is not a secret mental serial killer, of course. *</p>

<p>^Um, I think I actually wrote on my application that “I wouldn’t mind rooming with someone with a different background from me” or something to that extent, but now after what you said, I’m seriously regretting putting that down.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Be careful what you wish for ;).</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I doubt that there are many murderers in freshman housing besides aggrieved clean-up crews.</p>

<p>Actually, I saved a copy of my housing essay. I wrote:</p>

<p>“I would like to room with someone whose perception of things differs radically from my own, as I look forward to being exposed to different points of view. Furthermore, I hope that my roommate possesses interests that are only tangentially related to my own so that I may broaden my intellectual scope and knowledge of random things.”</p>

<p>I am really hoping to get a crackpot - it’ll give me a reason to be grumpy if I ever have a mood swing. :)</p>

<p>That’s funny–I wanted the same thing too in my app. </p>

<p>I am kind of hoping that I don’t get a single.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Well, I don’t think Elm has singles, so I think I’m safe from that. Phew!</p>
