<p>At this point, I think it is safe to assume that I will begin the year in temp housing as I have yet to hear otherwise. Does anybody know when I will find out where my temp housing will be? Will I be able to contact my temp roomates before move-in?</p>
<p>Temp housing is in the Wyndham (sp?) Gardens hotel in Oakland. As for roommates, even people in normal housing are having issues finding who their roommates are; you might just have to wait till move-in day.</p>
<p>They said that based on student surveys, this year temp hosuing will be in doubles that will have three people and in converted lounges.</p>
<p>Oh. I hadn't heard that. Neither of those options sounds like much fun compared to living in a hotel for free.</p>
<p>i agree with ThinkDifferent (and I'm TBA)...I'd rather be in a hotel then a dorm lounge or a "3rd wheel" in a dorm but hey I guess it is good for those who really really want to make sure they are socially active</p>
<p>if it was the result of a survey and not a budgetary issue you'd think they would offer both options to TBA students</p>
