<p>im interested in the de neve plazas, i assume they are popular tho - so when am i suppose to start filling stuff out to increase my chances of getting them?</p>
<p>just make sure that you turn in your housing application on time and mark de neve plaza as your first choice. As a freshman, anything other than that won't improve your chances - even submitting the app. early doesn't help, since priority numbers are assigned randomly after all apps have been received.</p>
<p>i downloaded the housing application, and there isnt a place to request a specific hall/plaza. it just tells you to rank in order of preference facility type: plaza, suites, or residence hall. so if you request plaza, it could be at de neve sunset village, or the new reiber vista or hedrick summit (if they're completed on time).</p>
<p>thanks alot for the info</p>
<p>exactly, VTECaddict - you can't request a specific hall.
Then again, after you get your housing assignment, you can petition to get switched to another one, and on that form you can rank each individual building. Those are just done on an "as possible" basis, meaning that if someone wants to switch out of De Neve and there is someone else who wants to switch into De Neve, and there are people to take their places, etc. they will do that. So that would be a good form to get in early if you want to change your assignment. I did this last year, and got the change after about a week.</p>
<p>thanks for the tip Icarus</p>
<p>do you know how long after the deadline (May2nd) will the housing assignments be released?</p>
