<p>Just wondering if anyone's room-mate info is up yet on VIP. VIP blurb says it will be posted by July 9th, but S was hoping it might post sooner. A spring newsletter for accepted studentsthat came after Christmas said they would start posting after July 1st. Anyone heard yet?</p>
<p>greenville
I know you and S are so looking forward to getting info....
try to remember that this is such a funny week..with the holiday in the middle of the week and all....its already Thursday and its not so long until Monday....
lets hope your S isn't like most guys..hope he'll take the initiative and contact the roomie..most guys are so laid back about that stuff...but don't be surprised if he doesn't want to do it on <em>your</em> timetable and isnt as concerned as you are about "stuff" and comforter colors,etc.</p>
<p>It looks like the room-mate information will not be released until Tuesday now. I just went on VIP on it says "Your housing assignment cannot be viewed until 7/10/2007"</p>
<p>My daughter's room assignment and info is posted now. Maybe everyones is???</p>
<p>My son's just came up, too. They must have posted everyone's.</p>
<p>Mine is up.</p>
<p>Yep, mine is up too, Now the hard part-contacting the roomie!</p>
<p>Be sure to check the "details" link out by the room number if you're in Capstone. There are different types of rooms, some have a private bath and some are suites.</p>
<p>I get to have a corner room, which I think is pretty nice. And I found my roommate using facebook.</p>
<p>My son got a corner room, too, and he is very pleased about that. I think he's planning to email his roommate soon.</p>
<p>Do you know how to find out what are corner rooms in Patterson? Can't seem to find that info anywhere. Thanks.</p>
<p>Cece,
I don't know about Patterson corner rooms, but an info book I got from housing says this about Patterson: "Triple bedrooms are rooms ending in 39 except for the third floor. Includes 1 bunk, 1 single, 3 chests, 3 chairs, 3 desks, and 2 large closets."
My son is in Capstone, and on the VIP info, where it gave his room number, there was a link right by his room number that said "details." When he clicked on details, it had a page that explained how the corner rooms are numbered in Capstone. (The Capstone corner rooms are different: 1 double room with a private bath, and the rest of the dorm rooms are suites.) I think Patterson probably has a different set-up. I have a number here for the housing office: 803-777-4752. Hopefully, they could tell you whether your room is a double or triple, etc.</p>
<p>Cece-
Correction on that housing #. The one I put in the previous post came off the back of the housing booklet. I called it today to check about carpet size for the Capstone corner rooms and I got a Healthy Carolina wellness voice mail. The number maybe was changed or misprinted? The correct housing # is 803-777-4283. (That # works!).</p>
<p>Things sure have changed since I was in college. With facebook and myspace you can definately get an idea of "who" your roomate is before you get to school. I guess that can be good or bad. </p>
<p>We did have to request a room change. D was originally assigned a room on the 17th floor of south tower. She has asthma, and I was worried there would be a problem with her getting down from the 17th floor if there was some kind of emergency. I was mostly worried since we don't know how her asthma will react to the climate change in SC. She may be perfectly fine, but I was worried none the less. We contacted housing and they were able to move her to a second floor room. No roomate assigned yet, so she'll have to wait on color selection til they move someone else in the room.</p>
