<p>Son was told the residential college assignments would be released today. He was hoping for an email or something on his esther account, but so far hasn't seen anything.</p>

<p>How does Rice communicate this to the incoming freshmen? email, snail mail, phone call?</p>

2

<p>IIRC, some come by snail mail, some by email. Good luck!! Your s will love whatever RC he gets. Promise!</p>

3

<p>You are contacted by your residential college, not Rice. As a result, speed, type of communication etc. varies by college.</p>

<p>When I coordinated we sent personalized letters through snail mail, then a few days later, once most students had received their decisions, set a mass email. Expect an answer within a few days, and enjoy the anticipation in the meantime.</p>

<p>Thanks all. Apparently the college sent him an email at midnight last night. He’s all happy now.</p>

6

<p>Soooo… which college is it???</p>

<p>son got his assignment last night…Brown</p>

8

<p>Apparently only Brown, Baker, and McMurtry sent out emails last night. Good thing I didn’t wait up with everyone…</p>

<p>He said McMurtry. Looks like a great location for getting to class on time!</p>

<p>I just found out my residential college assignment and now I’m even more excited for O-Week! I do have one, somewhat random question, though: how common is it for people to eat regularly at a servery that isn’t connected to their college? (For instance, if you live in Brown or Jones and decide that you want to frequent the West Servery over the North Servery?)</p>

13

<p>^^ Common. It all depends on what food you like better (Im a vegetarian, and some Chef’s are better than others) and where your friends are.</p>

14

<p>Didn’t chef Roger go from the South to the North Servery? Take his class! You’ll love it.</p>

<p>Chef Roger went from South to North at the end of 2006-2007 and from North to West (between Duncan and McM) two years later.</p>
