I’m really confused about the SRD process when it comes to actually getting a room in the dorm. From what I understand from their website, every applicant gets offered a contract and it’s the first however-many-spots-they-have people who fill out that contract and send it and the $750 pre-payment first who get a room. Is this correct or is it the first so many people to fill out and send in the initial application? Also why do they need a color picture of me? Thanks!
The website seems pretty clear: “Contracts and pre-payments will be accepted on a first come-first serve basis. If the number of contracts received exceeds the number of rooms available, the excess contracts will be put on a wait list in order of date received.” You have to submit the contract and pre-payment, not just the initial application, in order to get in line for acceptance.
No idea why they need a photo. You could call and ask.
PS - I lived in SRD for four years and loved it.
