My son is a freshman with an average of 6650 going into the housing lottery. Will he definitely get main campus rather than South Campus?
No way to know for sure. The lottery is different this year. My son is a sophomore and just barely got a room on North campus with a fairly good lottery number. They are “reserving” all of the North campus doubles for incoming freshmen and sophomores but I also noticed that one of the big dorms (Sadler) is not on the list at all for current freshmen to choose. The housing office did a webcast for parents and they seem to feel that this new system will get a lot more rising sophomores into housing through the lottery than previous years (last year, there were quite a few that had to wait until summer). Good luck to your son.
