<p>When does housing reopen?</p>
<p>you would need a priority below 300 probably. if you have to apply the 16th for housing you probably wont get a single.</p>
<p>you should get a double. be social!</p>
<p>also broward is on the east side and is better suited for english majors. also most of the fun stuff is on the west side of campus. all frats on the east side.</p>
<p>If I apply for housing on the 16th are my chances good at getting either broward or wildwood?</p>
<p>broward - sure
wildwood - maybe not</p>
<p>Who knows how many numbers were actually given out? You never know. Wasn’t there a dad on here that said priority #1200 got into Wildwood last year?</p>
<p>And there aren’t many singles, call housing and ask them (but wait until next week at least!)</p>
<p>Yes, Nolette, there was.:)</p>
<p>(And it was this year.)</p>
<p>Thanks Jossie and Nolette. My number is 34 but I’ve heard you need a medical excuse to get a single.</p>
<p>34!</p>
<p>and just tell them you have a condition that makes people stare at you for prolonged periods of time. i believe it is called good-looking-itis.</p>
<p>@Classof12and16 I feel the same way! It seems to me like broward and gilcrist are in prime location! The campus is pretty small anyway from what I remember but It seems to me like broward and gilcrist are in the center!</p>
<p>I just looked at the choices again and I really like Gilchrist. Can anyone list some pros/cons?</p>
<p>gilchrist is the same as broward.</p>

<p>Oh ok! thanks 
it seems like people don’t talk about it a lot but it looks nice</p>
<p>Regarding Broward, Broward is a very sought after dorm. You will need an excellent priority number for Broward, much better than Wildwood. Broward is very small, only 135 beds, with half male and half female, so it fills up quickly. </p>
<p>Gilchrist is the overflow dorm for honors.</p>
<p>I am copying and pasting a reply I posted a couple months ago in response to a housing question. </p>
<p>My daughter is a freshman and we did a lot of research on dorms because her priority number was on the bubble for community vs. suite style. We attended a preview day in the spring, during which we had the opportunity to tour a few dorms and speak directly to housing.</p>
<p>Here is some of the info we collected, plus some personal opinions.</p>
<p>Wildwood and DeGraff: the newest dorms, and very sought after. In my personal opinion, neither are in the best location. My daughter lived in DeGraff for summer term and found it to be noisy. </p>
<p>Landis: is the honors dorm, so if your are not in the honors program I would not list it.</p>
<p>Gilchrist: is the overflow dorm for the honors program. Its not exclusively honors, but for my daughter’s priority number, we were told by housing not to list it as a choice.</p>
<p>Bryan: is a freshman only learning community. In order to live in Bryan you have to apply and be accepted to their learning community.</p>
<p>Reynolds: is the wellness program. You have to sign an agreement stating that you will refrain for alcohol, tobacco, drugs, etc.</p>
<p>Broward: is a small hall with 135 resident, half being male and half female. We were told by housing that Broward fills up quickly, so you need a great priority number.</p>
<p>Cawthon: has two learning community, but we were told that they are some non-learning community dorm rooms available.</p>
<p>Jeannie Murphee: is an all female dorm. This is where my daughter currently lives. She finds it quiet and a good location.</p>
<p>Salley: is a on the west side of campus. It is suite style with two bedrooms sharing a common study area and bathroom. We thought the bedroom and study areas were small, beds had to be bunked.</p>
<p>The other dorms are community style. Smith has built in beds which eliminates the potential for under the bed storage. Housing told us that Dorman has some of the larger dorm rooms on campus and that Deviney had recently gotten new carpet in the hallways.
I don’t know much about Kellum.</p>
<p>Once you get your priority number, narrow your preferences down, attend preview day if you can, and contact housing with questions, I found them very helpful. Also, think about location and whether you want a meal plan or not. You can change you choice up until the date that admission decisions are due. Good luck.</p>
<p>How can I list that I want a meal plan? Also is there anything that needs to be taken care of after I got accepted (immunization records, fin aid etc)? For fin aid how does the application work - do they determine your aid from the 12-13 fafsa or is an extra app required (I can’t find it)?</p>
<p>You have to purchase a meal plan separately from the website of the company that runs them. They aren’t up yet for next year though, because it hasn’t been determined how much they will cost. </p>
<p>And yes, you need to fill out immunization records and prove you have health insurance and fill out a FAFSA form. However, you can’t fill out the FAFSA until January, and much of the stuff you need to fill out can wait. Just breathe for a few days. Within the next few days you will get your welcome packet and it will let you know everything you need to know.</p>
<p>You guys are so lucky :(</p>
<p>I was up till 4 am that night refreshing and logging in trying to get a number.</p>
<p>I’m skipping school tomorrow so I can get on at 8 a.m. to get a number as well.</p>
<p>500 for landis</p>
<p>I logged on at EXACTLY 8:00 AM, put my game face on, and came out with priority number 451.</p>
<p>for my preferances I list 1. Broward 2. Gilcrist 3. Wildwood 4. Degraff</p>
<p>With my housing number do you think I should even bother applying to the llc’s of wildwood and degraff, or do you think it is good enough to obtain one of my top 2 choices?</p>
<p>Just did my D’s housing and got priority number 1093.</p>
<p>Just curious, when are they going to announce whether you’re accepted into a house or not? I heard something about after Christmas? is that true? I’d assume it’d be rather difficult for people who don’t get accepted to any of their choices to find a place off-campus with such little time.</p>
