<p>Is there a deadline to send in your housing form? Has it passed yet? I only just decided on Cornell last week, so I assume I should be taking care of those things...or do you wait until they respond back?</p>
<p>The deadline was May 1st.</p>
<p>Ahh I just figured that out, so what does this mean in terms of my housing situation?</p>
<p>This is a direct quote from the Living and Learning at Cornell packet that I guess you'll receive soon:</p>
<p>"First-year student applications submitted after May 1 are processed in the order in which they are received online by the Housing and Dining Office."</p>
<p>And the form can be found at: <a href="http://www.campuslife.cornell.edu%5B/url%5D">www.campuslife.cornell.edu</a></p>
<p>it makes little diff...you might get a crappy dorm or whatever but you're guranteed housing freshman yr. dpnt wrry too much.</p>
<p>i thought there weren't any 'bad dorms' at cornell?</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies! I don't really think there are "bad dorms" either, I would just prefer to not be in Balch, lol.</p>
<p>depends on your definition of bad, there re two new ones which feel like you;re living in a hotel room and the others being old had an odd odor to them and lack air conditioning. yes i realize its upstate ny but i visited cornell 2 weeks ago and it felt like saunas in dickinson and the african themed house.</p>
<p>same here. ujamaa was way too hot, not that i would want to be there anyways.</p>
<p>The deadline is May 1st. I sent it in online a few days ago when I realized that the deadline has passed. I'm sure it's fine (they are not going to have you live on the streets) but if you were going for the themed living, you might not get first choice. Besides on the letter they sent out on the "Cornell Bound" packet said that the "recommended" deadline was May 1st.</p>
<p>Oh, and by the way, the dining form was also due May 1st if you didn't get to that either like me.</p>
<p>how would balch fare in comparison to mews & court ? besides the fact that its an all-girls dormitory.. like do the rooms have air-conditioning?</p>
<p>I hear the rooms in Balch are pretty sweet + air conditioning...and thanks haina, I finally got in my dining form too, lol.</p>
<p>balch has more singles aaaand bigger dorm rooms. its pretty sweet if you dont mind so many girls ;)</p>
<p>I turned in my dorm preference form online, but I haven't paid a dorm deposit. Is there one? When do we find out which dorm we're going to stay in??</p>
<p>From what I've heard, like mid-July.</p>
