<p>Is anybody else wishing it were Wednesday already? S2 knows he will have a single (medical paperwork about 2" thick qualified him) but we don't know where and the suspense is making the wait hard. Can everybody post where they end up, and whether they got close to what they wanted? Good luck everyone :) All the dorms are pretty much similar, it's the location. Classic real estate, I guess.</p>
<p>Yeah I’m excited too. I put my first preference as Pollock and 2nd as East. Now I’m not quite sure. I know that Pollock is not exclusively freshman, so is there a chance that my roommate or neighbors might be upperclassmen?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure they’d put freshmen together. There was a whole hall in South last year that was completely freshmen.
Also, I know that when rooming, housing puts upperclassmen together mostly and underclassmen together. But I think that mostly only matters once you’re a sophomore and up.</p>
<p>Good luck - hope you all get the locations you are hoping for! There is no suspense for us - one nice thing about the SLO our son is in (Schreyer’s) is that when you reserve your room during the selection process - which was several months ago - you pick the exact room you want (from among the available ones), so he knew exactly where he would be, to the specific room number. It saves a lot of anticipation and anxiety :-)</p>
<p>I got Beaver Hall in Pollock!! Any idea what its like? From what I read, its co-ed with mostly SLO’s, so that includes both freshmen and upperclassmen.</p>
<p>!@#$%#! Instead of his medically required single, S2 was given a QUAD (3 roommates). So I am waiting to get on the phone at 8am. Rats! And double rats!</p>
<p>Beaver is in a great location – and it’s currently being renovated!</p>
<p>Will it be complete by move in day or will some part will keep being renovated?</p>
<p>Mckean in East. Basically as far east as possible on campus but not too North so should be interesting.</p>
<p>It will be complete – it’s mostly the outside, and the driveways/parking lot. </p>
<p>Housing informs me that this is the assignment he has, they don’t change them, and if we want to cancel it they are happy in this case to give us a refund. Suddenly, all my son’s plans to live independantly are gone, and I have a room full of dorm supplies he won’t need. I haven’t cried so much in months…</p>
<p>Greeebutton - is he on a “single” waiting list? My son requested a single last year but wasn’t chosen in the lottery. He was however on a waiting list and several weeks after dorm assignments were announced we got a phone call asking if he still wanted the single. It was in the same dorm, same floor, but he moved into a single room. It might be worth at least requesting that he be placed on a waiting list. Good luck and sorry it didn’t work out better.</p>
<p>Does anybody know what “incompatible contract” means when you go to do an eLiving room switch?</p>
<p>Hey, I got Beaver Hall in Pollock. One question, are the floors of Beaver Hall co-ed or just the building??</p>
<p>greenbutton - I believe that means you are trying to switch with someone who doesn’t have the same type of housing contract. For example, if someone with a single tries to switch with someone in a quad, supplemental, etc. I believe it rejects it.</p>
<p>thrill4rishabh, most if not all of the floors in Beaver are coed, males on one end and females on the other with dedicated bathrooms. There are freshmen as well as upperclassmen, but they room freshmen together. It’s in a great location, close to downtown and many classroom buildings, White rec bldg and the HUB. Pollock Dining Commons was recently renovated and is awesome. Sadly, the rooms are small and pretty beat up, but oh well.</p>
