I turned in the UCR Housing payment on the due date, will I get my first dorm choice?

<p>The UCR Housing first payment was due on May 10th. I sent a money order on May 10th. A few weeks later it said I have a hold and the money order was sent back from my mom's bank. I paid it already though like the next day. My first choice was East Lothian. Will I get my first dorm choice? or will I have to go with my second choice? My second choice was Pentland I think. I don't really care that much but I really wanna live at East Lothian even though it is older than Pentland.</p>

<p>dammit, i shouldve chosen lothian instead of pentland cuz they have the cafeteria RIGHT there. I didnt know that until i was at the tour…</p>

<p>at orientation, one of the staff in charge of dorms said that the later people turned in the dorm stuff, the harder it was for them to get their first choice. it’s like first come first serve. you probably wont get pentland either because pentland is the most popular and east lothian is the second most popular.</p>

<p>You will probably not get Pentland… I’m not sure you’d get East Lo either. May 10 is really late. You are guaranteed housing if you do it before due date, but Pentland and East Lo are popular choices.</p>

<p>Don’t be too hopeful.</p>

<p>cant wait till 9/1</p>

<p>Aww…that sucks! Omg…I didn’t know the housing was first come first serve! When I saw the due date was May 10th, I thought that was the date that we had to turn it in. Is there anyway I can transfer to another resident hall?</p>

<p>If there was space you might have a chance. If the most wanted dorms are filled then your out of luck.</p>
