<p>So I am going to dorm with my friend for the Summer but I am not sure if I will be able to dorm with anyone I know for teh Fall Term. So what do i do? I know there are some preferences and I think you only do that if you want the people to choose where you live. But do you guys think it would be a bad idea for me to wait for the people to choose my room, etc. WOuld I be getting a room after everyone has chosen theirs.</p>
<p>I wished I knew some other people who were going to UF</p>
<p>From UF Housing…the last sentence in first paragraph…“preferences are not guaranteed OR likely if you wait to be manually assigned”</p>
<p>So it appears you would be getting a room after everyone else…</p>
<p>UF Fall / Spring and Innovation Academy students now have the option to select their own rooms and roommate on the MyHousing Portal if they have a completed Housing Contract and submit their $200 pre-rent payment. Room selection is based on the student housing application date (the date you submitted your UF housing application and $25 non-refundable housing application fee). Students do not have to select their own room, and can wait to be manually assigned by the UF Housing Assignments team. However, note that preferences are not guaranteed or likely if you wait to be manually assigned.</p>
<p>Students can change rooms as many times as they like until room sign-up for the contract period is closed or they are billed for housing (whichever comes first). Students with a completed housing contract and pre-rent payment are GUARANTEED a space provided for the contract period by UF Housing. Our office will notify students if availability becomes limited and we begin to manually assign students to rooms. Also view the UF Housing Facebook and Twitter pages for large numbers of rooms becoming available due to cancelations.</p>
