Roommate announcements

<p>Has anyone gotten roommate announcements yet? I heard they were supposed to be out around July 21, but I haven't gotten one yet. Neither has my friend who lives in the same town. Are they supposed to be out now?</p>

<p>Also, is there anything preventing people from arriving before their assigned time on move in day? Because the fact that they want us to come after 2pm is complete and utter nonsense, and if at all possible, I don't intend to abide by it.</p>

<p>I have heard that they were coming out the week of July 25, so they hopefully will be here soon.</p>

<p>And on the coming early thing... I am just going when I am told. However,
mine is the first time slot so i have no quarrels with that.</p>

<p>You should show up at the assigned time as you don't want to be the cause of elevator backups or too many people on the stairs with lots of boxes all at the same time. Over 7,000 freshmen will be moving in and the logistics are daunting. You may want to call to see if you can reschedule your time.</p>

<p>i got mine a month ago but mine was mutual request so i dunno</p>

<p>To be honest I think that U of I is insane asking us to wait until 2 pm. I live 3 hours away from Champaign. It is unbelievably inconsiderate of them to ask my family to wait so late. They'd be getting home at some ungodly hour of the night. I already feel bad about them having to do a 6 hour haul anyway. So screw backups. I don't care. I get there when I get there, and they can just deal with it.</p>

<p>i thought we were getting our roommate assignment last week of July(this week).</p>

<p>still no word :(</p>

<p>I got mine in the mail yesterday and I am very pleased with the roomates I have.</p>
