i'm pretty sure the housing waitlist is on a first-come-first-serve basis, so you may want to hurry up and get 'r in....

<p>It depends on the residential college to which you are assigned. The housing process is far too complex to be expressed in such simplistic terms.</p>

<p>it works that way at all the colleges, you cant get around having a waitlist of some sort, and it is determined by when you get on it no matter your standing.</p>

<p>As a transfer student, there is very little chance of you getting on-campus housing. Here at Sid, we have space set asside for 80 new students and 2 international students. Whether the Admissions Office gives us both transfers and freshmen in our 80 or just freshmen is something we don't have control over, but I only know of one transfer my year who got on-campus housing. The official O-Week site (<a href="http://www.riceoweek.com/transfer-faq.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.riceoweek.com/transfer-faq.html&lt;/a&gt;) has much more information (I'd assume they sent you something to that effect already, but just in case, you've got the link).</p>

<p>Oh, I know that... but..</p>

<p>when you submit your deposit, you are not immediately assigned to a residential college, so there is no waitlist on which one is placed.</p>

<p>I think that is how it works.</p>

<p>At any rate, I submitted my deposit already, so now I am waiting to see what happens with housing and the University of Chicago.</p>
