On campus housing is based on when you submit your housing application. Since students started submitting college apps and housing apps back in August, yours would seem to be nearer the tail end. There’s always a chance. Do you have a roommate picked out yet? Did they submit their app earlier than you? (Not sure how UT handles that, but it may be a option.) Keep your options open but make sure you have a backup plan as off campus housing goes quickly too.
@universeofbooks They’ve been able to accommodate everyone who wants to live on campus in the past so your chances of getting a contract are good. Might be supplemental housing, some kids on the UT19 page were complaining about that around September, but it didn’t seem so bad. I submitted my housing deposit on February 21st of 2015 & got my housing contract April 20th. You should get a contract.
@SlimShadyLady @TXDad56 Thanks for the info! I’m going on a visit tomorrow, so I will make sure to find out more.
On the preferences I put that I wouldn’t mind being in a triple or quadruple room. Does that guarantee I’ll get one? I’d love to have two roommates, I think it would really help breaking the awkwardness during the first week together
