<p>Anyone get the date for when we get to pick our rooms?</p>

2

<p>bump for help</p>

3

<p>mid-may. week or two after may 6 deadline</p>

4

<p>how do u “pick rooms”… do u actually like go to dorms and look at which room u want…? o.O</p>

5

<p>Err…we get out of school in may. lol I meant for continuing students…sorry for any confusion?</p>

6

<p>^
yea i know. im an continuing :slight_smile:
but how does it work? lol im living off campus next year… but didn’t know u could pick rooms lol</p>

<p>isn’t that how it works? they said we’d get a date in april to go and choose our rooms in that dorm, but there hasn’t been a date shown on the housing site yet…</p>

8

<p>Yeah, I was wondering about the same thing. I’m guessing they’ll send us an email eventually about our times and when we’ll be able to choose. It must be soon though since I got an email confirming my transfer form a triple to a double (yay!). They’re working on it, I guess.</p>

9

<p>WHAT??? I want to transfer to a double…is it too late to email them?</p>

10

<p>I don’t think it would be too late. It doesn’t hurt to try!</p>

11

<p>Where can we contact housing about getting into the dorms? I applied for housing but didn’t accept it… I kind of want it back now.</p>

12

<p>wait how did you get an email telling you you were transferred to a double ? i thought offers were only given in the summer</p>

13

<p>I’m a continuing student so we got our offers already.
I’m beginning to think that they’re going to let us “choose” in late april/early may. Maybe they wanted to distribute the freshmen first?</p>

14

<p>Thing lies. I think CalBear might have been reading the same thing I was…if you ask for a transfer, they’ll only do it during the summer or so it says on the pdf</p>

<p>Last year, room draws were done online - you get a time and then you just choose one using housingportal. I believe this was in late April. They’re kinda slow.</p>

<p>Also, some people get transfers because 1) they try to fill mini-suites with older students first and some people get offered a minisuite and then reject it so they offer that to another student who previously got offered housing in the halls. This happened to several people I know. 2) they have plenty of doubles left for the freshmen, I believe if you annoy them enough, you can probably get transferred to one.</p>
