<p>I sent in my deposit yesterday. How does housing work now? Does info get sent to me?</p>
<p>You will get a packet that explains the housing and meal plan options. You will go online and select what you want. It is all very easy. If you decide that you would like to live in honors housing or one of the living/learning communities (explained in residence life on Pitt’s site), you will need to submit another application for consideration.</p>
<p>is there still i good chance to get into litchfield towers A or B even though i’ll be sending the “yes” within the next week? I just feel like its coming down to the wire and I dont want the towers to fill up.</p>
<p>Pitt housing claims that they do not assign any housing until all the housing deposit due dates are reached. They indicated it makes no difference if you are the first person to submit your housing application, or one of the last. As long as you send in your housing deposit and complete the application on time, you should have just as much of a chance to get your room choice as any other applicant.</p>
<p>We also spoke with students currently on campus, and they said the same thing about their past experiences.</p>
<p>Riley13 is correct. For freshman, housing is not decided until later in the year. Actually, housing was announced during my pittstart (I remember because I was the only kid who brought my laptop, so everyone was checking their assignments on there…/shudder) and it seemed as though time you applied had no effect on whether or not you got your first choice.</p>
<p>Upperclassmen pick housing for the following year during the Spring term.</p>
<p>My DS sent his Honors Housing application in today - fingers crossed - he REALLY wants Honors Housing.</p>
<p>Not everyone eligible applies for honors housing, so it seems as though those who want it get it. Last year, they did not even look at the applications until later in May.</p>
<p>awesome thanks guys!</p>
<p>see you in the fall all of you other soon-to-be panthers:)</p>
<p>When in the process do you receive the housing packet? After signing up for Pitt Start?</p>
<p>My daughter received hers about 3 weeks after paying her deposit.</p>
<p>So if I haven’t applied for housing yet, I’m still ok right? I would like to be in sutherland hall.</p>
