<p>Does anyone know when the roommate assignments are mailed out?</p>
<p>I think the letter sent with the advisor form booklet said that there would be two more large mailings, one in July about rooms and roommates and one in August about orientation.</p>
<p>I can verify July.</p>
<p>Thank you :)</p>
<p>I knew it was July, but do you have any idea of when in July we can expect it? Beginning, middle?! </p>
<p>I'm so anxious to find out my roommate!</p>
<p>I was thinking that it will be around the early of July.....:)</p>
<p>Wouldn't it be funny if two people who are on the Kenyon CC threads got assigned to room together :) ??</p>
<p>I don't remember when in July it was... but I remember finding out sooner than most of my other college bound friends. </p>
<p>It would be so strange if two CCers got to be roommates!</p>
<p>The on campus directory is updated...I can tell you where you are living and who is with you. I need your first and last name...email me with the info and I will respond within a few hours. <a href="mailto:kenyon06@gmail.com">kenyon06@gmail.com</a></p>
<p>It looks like about 20% of the students are not yet assigned, maybe less than that. Also, the directory is showing 464 students for the class of 2009.</p>
<p>I wonder if housing will be tight with the higher yield....</p>
<p>Housing is going to be interesting...not sure how we can handle so many large classes.</p>
<p>I'm positive it will be tight. over 100 sophomores have no housing.</p>
<p>This years housing will be crazy... somehow there are sophomores in the typically junior/senior New Apartments, and juniors in the typically sophomore Caples... not to mention all the unhoused sophomores Ceruleanne mentioned. I'm so glad I'm housed, and in an awesome place at that.
I don't think incoming freshman should be worried though... last year they went way over the yield but made it work. Am I right to think that the '09 class is a little smaller than the '08s?</p>
<p>Where do the sophomores with no housing live?</p>
<p>Usually things will open up as people decided to take a semester off, transfer, etc, but I doubt 100 students worth will decide that this summer.
When this happened (on a much smaller scale) last year, the administration relaxed their off-campus policy and extended the deadline to apply, so as seniors decided to move off campus, the unhoused took over their rooms.
Kenyon has also been on a kick recently of opening "houses" for students, so essentially affiliated off-campus housing. The houses are usually themed and one must apply to live there. Examples are the vegetarian house, the football house and a house for recovering substance-abusers.</p>
<p>Are the off-campus houses right in Gambier? Do the students living there still eat in the dining rooms? Thanks.</p>
<p>kids that dont even go to kenyon eat in our dining halls, haha.</p>
<p>but when she says football housing, that means they still live on campus (this 'housing' is usually a block or a part of a normal dorm that is reserved for them.) and the unity/veggie house is an actual building for people who live there. its not off campus in the traditional sense, and kenyon administration gets really ****ed off if they find out that students are truly living 'off campus'</p>
<p>gulicious - I m confused - if the veggie housing, etc. is part of a normal dorm, how could it open up space needed to to overcrowding?</p>
<p>my mistake, veggie house is also a real house and i think we are not saying that it opens new housing, it is just a new alternative and shows that the college is trying to find ways of getting people in housing before the lottery crunch (people apply for these special housing options in advance) hope this answers the question. as for the sophomores without housing, they will all somehow be accomodated for, as i doubt they can neglect people housing at a school like kenyon. i am also on the list of people who dont have a place, but i am not worried, (they better bring in trailers if anything)</p>
