Hey guys I have a couple of questions about the housing application.
I’m picking the 1st theme Transfer Experience.

How serious is the essay they require for it? How many paragraphs?

Also for the room preferences, which ones should I select last and which ones do you recommend first?

Another question related more to SIR.

When it asks whether I have claimed myself as independent, is it asking for fafsa or taxes? Because I know for taxes I have done independent because i make more than my mom, but on fafsa i am dependent, because the schools claim you so unless you are over 24 years old.

Thank you in advance!

@Mia0Mia, when I asked them about the essay, they said there aren’t any parameters and they just want us to explain why we’re interested in the theme. In my “essay” all I said was that I’m a transfer student who wants to meet and live with other transfers.

I selected the deluxe double first because the deluxe dorms are what’s in the transfer hall. My second theme was the LGBTQ hall, so then I selected plazas (because that’s what those are, as far as I know). Aside from that, it was kind of random–there were lots of options, lol.
