<p>My S was assigned to Webb for the upcoming year. He is a freshman and is looking for a more traditional style dorm. He submitted a re-assignment form and has requested Pardee. What are his chances and when will he hear if his reassignment is approved?</p>
<p>Hi nifmom,</p>
<p>I went through the reassignment process myself…twice. Because I was a Spring Admit who was then bumped to the Fall, my housing app went in late. I originally had IRC (suite-style), and I too wanted the traditional style. Because Pardee is one of the most popular choices (terrific location AND a good balance between studying and socializing), it’s definitely not a guaranteed thing. What I think helped me was going into the housing office and talking with one of the employees about how the process works. I requested Pardee but was reassigned to Trojan Hall. I tried the reassignment process again and was put in the last open spot in Arts & Humanities during the summer before my freshman year. </p>
<p>I had originally really wanted the traditional style, as your son does, but I ended up having an amazing time in the suite style. Webb is also a really cool dorm and the RAs do a great job of getting the residents to interact as though they were in the traditional style dorm.</p>
<p>The applications are processed in June and July, so you should hear back by the middle of July, I believe. I hope it all works out for your son!</p>
