<p>I'm so excited. Does anyone know fo sho when its coming, tho i heard it came on the 18th last year.</p>

<p>Hopefully we all get our first choices</p>

<p>Does anyone know how the lottery works? I mean do they pick a dorm and room, and then pull a name out of a hat? Or do they assign you all random numbers and like, #395 will get her first choice, and #6 will get his, etc.?</p>

<p>How does it matter?.. either way, its random., though i doubt its either of those… i just have very bad luck, i got my third choice college in ucsd, >_<</p>

<p>i think they assign lottery numbers to each person and then they go down the list giving them their highest preference that is still available.</p>

<p>well, i don’t think it matters how they do it.
of course there are going to be people who get their first choices and people who do not.
then again, you could always try petitioning for a better choice but i don’t think those usually work out</p>

<p>Sidenote: When you guys find out your housing and start making facebook groups, it is a better idea to format the titles
<em>Insert Res Hall Here</em> 2009-10</p>

<p>A “<em>Insert Res Complex Here</em> Class of 2013” format is undesirable as substantial number of dorm residents are not member of the class of 2013.</p>

<p>Also, make sure to check and see if continuing students already have made groups for wherever you will be living. (i.e. for Bowles we already have made a group for you guys)</p>

<p>Anyone know if that “glitch” in the housing offer thing that occured last year on the 18th will happen this year?, or do you think they “corrected” it and the housing offers will come on the 22nd by email?</p>

<p>last year the system was brand new, this year they probably have fixed it up a bit and hence there probably won’t be any glitches</p>
