<p>I’m anxiously anticipating my room assignment, and the other day I was checking my account on the student link and it had posted that I owed $3,855 for housing for the fall semester. So total I would have to pay $7,710 which I believe is the annual cost for the non suite dormitory style rooms. So my question is does everyone who is entering their first semester have this exact cost until they are assigned or is it indicative that most likely I am in The Towers which was my second choice on the housing survey?</p>
<p>I’m not sure what your first choice was, but if it was a suite/apartment, chances were already not in your favor to get one of those freshman year. I think they only save 10% for all freshmen. With the student link charges, I’d definitely think that you were put into Towers. We’re supposed to find out for sure by July 1st, if you submitted your housing relatively early! I can’t wait to know either!</p>
<p>Well I probably should’ve clarified I’m actually a transfer. So I am going to be a sophomore. But my top three were Myles, Towers, Shelton</p>
<p>I think you’re still treated as a freshman in the housing process for your first year though.</p>
<p>Warren and Towers are great to meet people, or so I hear, for Freshman year. However, the rooms are very, very small. The walls remind me of prison cells and the lighting is dim. You also have to share the bathroom with everyone in the floor. I suggest Hojo. Plenty of Freshman get in there. There’s no dining hall, but it has Late Nite and Towers is right behind Hojo. Here are the room rates:</p>

<p>Got assigned to the Myles Standish Annex with just one roommate. Anybody have any experience with the annex positive/ negative?</p>
<p>the annex is hard to find the first time u go. very quiet, not much hanging out in the halls like the freshman dorms. bigger rooms though. u should find out if u have a bathroom for ur room or if it’s a common one down the hall.</p>
