<p>I don’t think they’re allowed to let us know beforehand =\ I’ll just try my best and convince my friend (and her friend) that our best bet right now is to take the Livingston apartment and then try to figure everything out once we find out about the RA job on thursday</p>
<p>If you don’t have a meal plan you can still eat in the dining hall using RU Express money. Taking a 50 meal plan locks you into 50 meals at a cost of $15.40/meal. By contrast, a single dinner will cost $17.50. (I think King Neptune night is a special price of $30). Lunch = $11.50, breakfast = $8, brunch = $11.55.</p>

<p>My friend is just worried about being stuck in the livingston apartments if she can’t afford them. I’m worried about not getting easton because the numbers are so different </p>
<p>Is there a possibilty to room swap?</p>
<p>ncheer92 you can room swap as long as you can find someone from Easton who wants to live in Livi. According to posts I have read on Resident Knights, they will let you do it during summer before you move in. You can also post your question on the Resknights page if you want to hear from housing.</p>
<p>Okay I’ll talk to my friend and see what she says. Hopefully this is convincing enough to let us take a livi room. </p>
<p>The worst part is that this whole predicament I’m in could be completely pointless if we all got our RA jobs</p>
<p>As an update I couldn’t convince my groupmate that we should pick a livingston apartment rather than wait for easton. I tried every argument I could but she wasn’t budging. Now I can only hope for the best! Thank you for the advice!</p>
<p>Good luck- I hope you get Easton-let us know…</p>
<p>I was surprised to see that the Livingston 4 Bedroom Apartments cutoff was at 14 seniority points. I expected it to be 16. I guess that’s a good sign for anyone applying for apartments in general.</p>
<p>Can anyone post their Easton Ave confirmation info? </p>
<p>This format-</p>
<p>General Statistics
Number of x-Bedroom Apartment Applicants:
Number of Available x-Bedroom Apartments: </p>
<p>The final eligible group had x Seniority Points and a lowest lottery # of x.</p>
<p>Once I get it in a few hours I will gladly post =)</p>
<p>With the Livi cutoff being so high I’m not sure I trust the Easton cutoff being as high. With its proximity to the bars on college I would assume that many seniors would apply for this area.</p>
<p>Number of students who applied: 3018
Number of Available Apartments: 122</p>
<p>The final eligible group had 13 Seniority Points and a lowest lottery # of 278.</p>
<p>So that means you got an apartment? That 4 person apartment cutoff was higher than Livi.</p>
<p>Congratulations and thanks for posting the info.</p>
<p>yep! we select tomorrow and I’m happy that I at least have somewhere to live if I don’t get the Apartment Assistant job. Now I just have to wait until thursday to find out if I’m staying there</p>
<p>For the Livi 4 Bedroom Apts the final eligible group in the second round had 14 points and a lowest # of 1972.</p>
<p>From the housing dept.</p>
<p>Does anyone know the numbers for second round Easton selection or first round Busch?</p>
<p>Busch first round:
Number of students who applied: 2536
Number of Available Apartments: 236</p>
<p>The final eligible group had 12 Seniority Points and a lowest lottery # of 2,387.</p>
<p>I got the first selection time which was 10 minutes ago, bless the seniority system.</p>
<p>Interesting! Thanks for posting the Busch info. It looks like a good amount of seniors and juniors got into the top 3 apartment choices.</p>
<p>“bless the seniority system.”? No, may God damn the seniority system. I didn’t get into any apartments yet, because seniors have occupied them all. My final flickering light of hope goes to Newell Apartments now. Why can’t these Rutgers Housing morons provide Busch priorities to engineers and pharmacists only? Why do only Mason Gross and SEBS students get priority housing?</p>
<p>sixflags are you in an all junior group? what is your lowest number? maybe you will get in on round 2.</p>
<p>I can understand engineering and pharmacy priority, but then you would need to give business majors priority for Livi as well.</p>
<p>You should definitely get into Newell if you are all juniors. My son lived there sophomore year-it’s better than a dorm. </p>
<p>I still think that housing should be all priority depending on grade level, with seniors highest priority. From apartments down to doubles.</p>
<p>do you think 6 freshman with lottery number 4000 could get busch suites?</p>
