<p>the room right next to me is empty and they are paying for it. however they both were studying abroad fall quarter and their parnets just paid for the quarter so that they would have it upon returning.</p>
<p>wow thats weird, i know a couple people last year who studied abroad fall quarter, they just got placed into open rooms (people that left abroad or moved out from dorms)</p>
<p>Interesting ... that kind of sucks to pay for a room even when you aren't there. I guess for those studying abroad, commuting is the most economical choice, followed by apartment.</p>
<p>Ok, I’ve accidentally forgot to do my initial payment and I am wondering is there any room left for me in the lottery. I am so confused right now. What I am trying to ask is that is there a good chance that I would receive a housing offer by August?</p>
<p>When does our housing offer come in? And where exactly do I check this?</p>
