<p>this is probably a stupid question, and i could probably easily find the answer elsewhere, but i was wondering…when is the deadline for housing? is it also may 1st w/ the SIR? and how do you request roommates and dorms/ whats the chance of getting the one u want? keep in mind that i am a spring admit.</p>
<p>housing deadline is may 4. you request a roomate when filling out your app. make sure you and your roomate have the same exact order of preferences or else you wont get the same room.</p>
<p>no, for spring it's obtober 14 for spring admits...i thought*</p>
<p>its june 6th for falll extension spring admits and october 14 for just spring admits. i heard requestin usually doesnt work and i dont think spring and fall admits can request each other</p>
<p>Just be sure you answer honestly... and be careful how you answer!</p>
<p>When I signed up, I have a messy work space and have a laundry pile and I classified that as messy. I also like to listen to music when I study...</p>
<p>When I had the app, there were two options and then your housing preferences. </p>
<p>Guess what those options were:
Messy / Neat
Noisy / Quiet</p>
<p>...I picked messy and noisy my first year, (because I thought that meant disorderly and liked to listen to music). That lead to 8 months of utter misery with filthy, loud ****ing roommates from Hell. </p>
<p>Second year -- QUIET and CLEAN. I was MUCH MUCH MUCH happier, even though I was the "slob" of the bunch. </p>
<p>If your idea of messy is leaving your laundry in a pile on the floor, and having papers scattered across your desk -- then pick neat and just work it out with your roommate(s) if you get a neat-freak. It's a lot easier than having disgusting slobs for roommates like me. I still have nightmares about the 3 month-old pizza box (the room smelled like ass for a month after I found it and got rid of it. Plus, I got charged for their disgusting mess after we moved out. They left it and I refused to clean it up.) and the heavy metal and rap at 2 AM.</p>
<p>And if you like to listen to music, get headphones if you have really quiet roommates, that way everyone is happy. :) Because after you get assigned, it is NEARLY impossible to get a room-change unless you find another person who wants to switch. Of course, my first case might be an extreme example -- but it is the honest-to-god truth. O.O</p>
<p>IF you like to listen to music, PLEASE use headphones. Omg. How can you blast laptop speakers. That's just disgusting. Unless you have monstrous 5.1 surround speakers, then I can understand. Otherwise headphones own. Yes, they make everyone happy too.</p>
<p>I put neat and here's what I get. I never throw clothes around. The only clothes that may be lying around are a jacket on the back of my chair or a sweatshirt i wore during the day but got too hot midday and thats on my bed or my PJs on my bed. Otherwise, it's clean.</p>
<p>My roommates throw crap all around the ground. We haven't vacuumed in 3 months. I clean up after they get drunk. Our trash can overflows, we have food scattered around and one guy doesn't shower... Yes he stinks.</p>
<p>hahaha as soon as I read the subject line, I knew it was my food-coloring-addicted friend! search for "dart bord" if you want to reminisce!</p>
<p>dude they better put us in the same room. i've heard some roommate horror stories before...</p>
<p>ahaha i just read our old forum and it brought a tear to my eye.....oh the memories!!! die ucla! yeah we'll for sure be roomies. we just gotta fill out everything the same. livejournal/aim/cc friends for life!</p>
