<p>We googled their names, figured it out and then I called the housing department to confirm. He is listed on the 3rd floor so if there are other freshman on the floor he should be good. </p>
<p>Mine will be on the 3rd floor and he is a freshman, one of the south wings. Never thought about googling his roomate. hmmm 
and it is my undrerstanding that a lot of the kids on 3 are freshmen. I am guessing that if sophomores handpicked ur son’s suite, he is probably in one of the nicer rooms! Another benefit to having non-freshman as roomates :D</p>
<p>Wait, is the third floor solely the Honors floor? I was just assigned a room and I was put on the second floor. :S Also, I only have two other roommates instead of three? I’m guessing I was put in an overbooked lounge?</p>
<p>3rd floor is honors. i guess if they did not have enough honors kids to fill up 3rd floor, it would open up to everyone. Just a guess though. if you can pull up a map of 1300, you can find out more about what type of room you are in. it’s possible your last roomate has not been assigned yet. that being sadi, i think the rooms with 3 kids are nice and big though so it would be all right to end up in one of them. </p>
<p>So if you are on the third floor the building code would be followed by the number 3 and the room number?</p>
<p>Next time I look at my sons housing, I’ll decipher their coding on here for u. And his room number starts with 3. That was how I determined he’s on the third floor. </p>
<p>hello all, I am going to make up a room # where my kid is staying to show temple’s housing coding. His “room” is Cb N322-2. CB is the building name on Temple’s computer system, namely 1300. there is a link somewhere in the Temple cyber world that shows the computer name for all dorms. For my son’s room, N stands for one of the north wings, his room would be 322 and he assigned to bed 2. Hope this helps. </p>
<p>That’s what I thought ,the room number we have starts with 3 as well.I did call the housing yesterday to find out if the roommates are freshmen or sophomores and was told they can’t disclose that info and freshmen usually get housed with freshmen.</p>
<p>What meal plans are everyone getting? I’m encouraging D to get the all-inclusive one, since it seems like to relatively small difference in price to get twice as many meals, but I know that requires leaving 1300 to eat most of the time. </p>
<p>my son is getting 12 meals for the first semester. I think it’s called the premuim plan when he can have meals whenever and wherever he wants too and the plan added some diamond dollars too. He plans to come home on a lot of weekends; otherwise we would have gotten him more meals. We are going to see how this plan works the first semester and then revise it if needed. i’d ask some of the students on here what meal plans they have. if your daughter has a preimium plan, I think that lets her get some meals at Morgan Hall if she wants to which is next door to 1300. Morgan hall has a food court on its first 2 floors with actual resturants and my son can use his meal plan to get credits for food at Morgan hall(at least I hope so or i got the wrong plan). also, i was looking at the meal plans recently and you can up the meal plan at any time. so you may want to start on the low end and then up it within the first month if your kid is starving. if you can stomach that. The thought of mine being hungry and mealess at college is more than i can bare!! </p>
<p>and uh to clarify, that’s 12 meals a week!!! not 12 for the semester 
</p>
<p>To clarify a few things:
3rd Floor is solely honors this year and I’m pretty sure the 4th floor is honors upperclassmen. 2nd Floor also an extremely large honors population. It may even be entirely honors. Can’t comment on meal plans because I have no experience. </p>
<p>thanks futuredoc and break a leg on those finals!!! </p>
<p>Will temple consider course difficulty when making these decisions? Will a student that takes all honors/ap and gets a 3.5 be considered less than a student who takes regular/college preparatory classes and gets 3.8? Is it solely based off on gpa/standardized tests? </p>
<p>xerxes, call Temple on that one. i heard that they weight the GPA but i don’t know if that is true. </p>
ctl987 My overall GPA came up to a 3.75 for four years as well as a 2190 (1470 M+CR) on the SAT’s and they let me in Honors with a President’s Scholarship (even though GPA req was 3.8 and SAT). I have no clue if they make decisions including extracurriculars as well but I definitely had a lot so idk but it turned out well in the end anyways.
i am assuming they weighted your GPA and it came out to 3.8. are you going to Temple?
