Roommie/Housing news?

<p>My D texted me from away to ask if she'd gotten anything in the mail about her roommate/housing assignment. It looks like Fed Ex tried to deliver something from Tufts today when we weren't home (?). Any other frosh heard from Tufts?</p>

<p>They sent it out via snail mail and it’ll be a good week or so before us west-coasters get it. THe first batch should be out to east coasters by thursday</p>

<p>3Point7: did you get that info from the Housing Office or another source? And did they say what day then sent it?</p>

Housing information is in the process of being sent out. Most of it already has. You should receive it in the mail late this week or sometime next week.</p>

<p>I was told on Monday by Housing that they were starting to send the info out that day. I had called because I noticed on the Bursar bill that there was a notation “Lewi” and a 3 digit number in the room charge section of the bill, and then a credit below that which said “Lewi” and a different 3 digit number, and then “room charge” with no notation. I didn’t know if this meant Lewis Hall. The Bursar’s said to ignore it, and they referred me to Housing, which is when I learned that the housing info was being mailed. Tufts seems to be very late in sending this information, compare to other schools.</p>

<p>Still no word here in CA.</p>

<p>stny: our Bursar bill doesn’t show anything like that. It reminds me though of the endless discussion over at the Boston College page about “the sixth tab” which showed up in the menu on the financial aid page a week or so before students were officially accepted- if you had the sixth tab, (which was where any awards were due to show up) it pretty much guaranteed you’d been admitted. I always wondered if BC knew how much of a flurry they caused by that one strategic placement of a empty tab.</p>

<p>My D in NYC STILL hasn’t gotten her housing info, while everyone else she knows in NYC has received theirs. Disturbingly, her friend that she was supposed to room with got a different roommate. They don’t know how this happened. But it is strange that my D has received nothing yet.</p>

<p>D got her letter yesterday and we are in CA. You might want to call tomorrow if nothing shows up. Your D hasn’t been contacted by anyone on Facebook, saying she’s her new roommate?</p>

<p>I will be calling first thing tomorrow. 2 students who were supposed to room together said on Facebook that they got singles next to each other. My D may have ended up with a single, which she said she will not be happy about. I don’t really understand how they didn’t honor roommate requests, since they provide the opportunity on the questionnaire to name someone.</p>
