<p>*I’m now with all freshmen in Ridgecrest West, and I’m very happy about the change. (: I’ll keep checking in case a room pops up in Ridgecrest South North, but if not, I’m okay. (:</p>
<p>Oh, and just for reference, when I logged in and checked at 2:00-2:01, there was my room in Ridgecrest West (3 open spots), 2 rooms in Lakeside East (1), and a room in Ridgecrest South South (1). *</p>
<p>Hmmm, so it looks like some rooms are opening up.</p>
<p>I hope the honors men’s beds start opening so that those who want them can get them.</p>
<p>Krazie: My D is also in Ridgecrest West, along with two sophomores & another freshman. So it should be a good mix of returning & new students Congrats on getting a room!</p>
<p>Krazie, you were able to get in during the day? I thought you couldn’t get on until 4 pm central. Maybe you’re in a different time zone? California, maybe? </p>
<p>Just curious if you were able to get on outside of the times published by housing, which is 4 pm central.</p>
<p>Congratulations on getting into a room you like!</p>
<p>Bythe way, Momreads’ son is one of the freshmen we were able to meet when visiting, along with his girlfriend. Simple charming, busy, people. It is such a pleasure to be with these young folk who promise to be movers and shakers in this world yet take time out to help others!</p>
<p>Montegut, I was able to get on room selection Tuesday afternoon around 1:15 eastern time. My son was shut out of honors housing on Monday so for the heck of it I tried at an off time and it worked. I searched for about 45 minutes with only Paty showing up and then 2 rooms in one suite in Lakeside West were available. I picked one for him and then sent a PM to a CCer who was also looking. By the time I did that and checked for the confirmation e-mail the room selection was closed. It was almost as if when I selected a room it woke someone up in housing who realized a room had been selected at an off time and they shut it off. He only has 2 roommates listed so there is still a room available but it doesn’t show up for selection.
I just wanted to thank everyone here for all their information and insight. We are from Connecticut and Alabama would NEVER have been on our radar screen without everything we learned here about scholarships, the honors college etc.</p>
<p>Ditto! Just substitute Hawaii for Connecticut. The contributors on the UA board are the embodiment of generosity and encouragement. Thanks again.</p>
<p>I feel like i’m spending my afternoons staring at the computer screen clicking “Search”. If I’m lucky, I’ll see a glance of an available room before it’s gone within a second.
Whew…</p>
<p>there were a couple of spots in ridgecrest west today that were available for a little while (maybe 10 or more minutes). not that that is a LONG time, but better than it has been.</p>
<p>you are new here (at least to me) merrisara - where are you coming from?</p>
<p>Good luck to her. It’s nice to hear there’s some activity. Nothing on the guys end of things but we’ll keep hoping and checking. S doesn’t get home from school until after 3 (5 there) and I’ve been proctoring AP’s and also missing the opening shots. Tomorrow I’m home hopefully it clicks.</p>
