Potluck and housing contracts?

I’ve accepted my housing contract, but have yet to hear back about what dorm I have. I thought you didn’t hear util mid July, but now im hearing others talking about their dorm assignments… Am I missing something?

Also, how bad of an idea is it really to go potluck? Should I start frantically searching for a last minute room mate?..

My 19yo is going to be living in the dorms again this year. Her 1st and 2nd year she was completely potluck. For next year, she and one of her current roommates requested to room together. Their third roommate applied for an apartment instead.

My daughter has always found out her housing assignment some time in July.

She has had good roommates. Her first year, neither of her roommates was there much because they both had parents within 45 minutes of campus. She was disappointed that they were gone so much of the time.

This past year, both of her roommates lived 4-6 hours from campus like she did and she enjoyed that much more because they did a lot of things together.
