Housing and Roommate Notification

<p>Hi! I am planning on attending Pitt in the fall and was wondering if anyone knew when you find out about your housing...Also, i was wondering when you are notified about your roommate selection. I am hoping to find this out before i go to Pitt for my Pittstart session in July. Thanks for your help!</p>

<p>yeah...I'd like to know this too...I applied for SPACE and I am eager to see if I got it...</p>

<p>My Daughter called the housing office. They said notifications on housing/roommates would be mailed in late June/early July. We are looking for anyone from the South (like Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina, Alabama) (since she is from Alabama) that is going to Pitt to email, if anyone is interested.</p>

<p>Thanks for the info... I'm from the midwest (Illinois) and was also wondering if anyone from the midwest was going to Pitt.</p>

<p>My daughter is from northeast Ohio. . . .sort of midwest. She's going to Pittstart in late July.</p>

<p>hey caroline
im from chicago. good to see that im not the only one from illinois goin 2 pitt</p>

<p>Is there anyone in the New England area going besides for me?</p>

<p>Yay! Someone else from Illinois... i live across the river near St. Louis..</p>

<p>new england, also</p>

<p>Coming from the deep South here. Pitstopinpurg1, I heve sent you a pm. May I suggest that you students check out something called facebook.com. Once you're enrolled in a university and get an ID number you somehow wind up in facebook and college students from all over contact each other there. D has already been contacted by at least one OOS going to Pitt on facebook. Don't know how it works but if you're a college kid, I'm sure you'll figure it out.</p>

<p>We're off to Pittstart! Wish us luck!</p>

<p>ooo yes.. i know what you're talking about!.. i actually just made myself a facebook account with my email address... i'm not sure how to meet other future Pitt students yet though... guess i'll figure it out!</p>

<p>ya..i made a facebook account and ended up getting a bunch of high school friends add me. How could you make friends on facebook without knowing who they are?</p>

<p>i've actually been searching within my major and class year... that way i can find people who i may actually have classes with next year haha...</p>

<p>Has anyone heard yet? My daughter's Pittstart session is 7/24-25, and we were hoping she'd have her dorm assignment before we went.</p>

<p>my pittstart is also the 24 and 25 but i have heard nothing.. i applied for special housing (SPACE) though, so that may be why it is taking longer??</p>

<p>bwang, what people do is add random people on facebook, and try to make friends that way. almost everyone does that, and its nicer to kind of know people when you arrive here. I made some great friends that way as well, and well, it works!</p>

<p>looks like that makes 3 of us going to the july 24th and 25th session</p>

<p>haha, yes..three of us!... nuclei19: will you be going for engineering?</p>

<p>nah business</p>

<p>My daughter's going for microbiology, 7/24-25. </p>

<p>I wonder what placement tests she'll have to take? She just got her AP scores, with a 4 in Calculus. She also took a year of Freshman English here at Kent State--hope she can get out of that class at Pitt.</p>
