U of Florida - Housing Selection Process Help

My D finally made her decision and will be a Gator! I need help understanding how their dorm selection process works.

What I Do Know:
There is a portal where my D puts into a ranking order her preferences. This is done.

My D was given an appointment for “Building Selection” on May 19, 10:45AM. The times students get are based on when you made the housing deposit. The first in line start at 8:45AM.

What I Don’t Know:
My question is what happens at 10:45AM? Does she just select what is left? If so, what was the point of the setting her preferences?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey, you should post your questions in the UF forum, you’ll get a better response (and this thread will likely be moved to that forum, anyway…).

Unless she picked a LLC, your ranking order only comes into play if you want UF to make the selection.

If you want to pick it yourself, then at 10:45 am, you’ll be able to choose a location (and the ranking order will not matter). You should still have plenty of options to choose from, but it’s always hard getting a single, or one of the dorms that’s popular with older/returning students (who got to pick before the freshman).
