<p>there will a couple more rooms available by the beginning of the year for sure, enough that I would think you would have a shot. If not, there will definitely be room by the end of first quarter.</p>
<p>As for finaid, I believe it will covers the cost of a nearby residence since that is part of your estimated financial need, but do not quote me on it. </p>
<p>Also, since I am transferring and have a room reserved you might end up with mine, who knows.</p>
<p>I'm sure you'll get one. Just make sure you don't forget your midterms and finals. I remember going to class once and the professor told us to bring out our blue books for our midterm. I just sat there thinking "oh crap." </p>
