<p>Hey guys keep in mind I made this post a year ago. I don’t know anything about the housing situation today or whether there are dorms still available on campus. Just letting new people know before anyone starts to panic.</p>
<p>TMT, did you end up getting a supplemental contract by the end of summer?</p>
<p>By the end of the summer I had already signed with Dobie, but someone from UT housing called me and asked if I was still interested in living on campus in a supplemental room. I didn’t accept because I already had somewhere to live and I prefer 1 roommate over 3, so that space went to someone else.</p>
<p>Do you remember exactly when they called you? I applied April 1st… and still hoping for ANY kind of housing on campus… :(</p>
<p>Hmmm… well I don’t know the exact date but on July 13th of last year I signed my lease for Dobie and I remember it was a few weeks after that when I got the call. I remember being really surprised because it was almost time for me to move in Dobie - so it had to have atleast been in August. I didn’t think UT would have space, let alone call me on my cell phone and ask if I wanted it. Also, I had applied for housing January 2009, so I don’t know if April is too late or not. Have you tried calling?</p>
<p>Yeah, and I’m looking into Dobie, too, but if I get into on campus housing, I would drop Dobie… But I know that dobie makes you pay the 450 lease + rent for june july and aug… UGH! Decisions, decisions…</p>
<p>How is Dobie, btw? Is it social? do everyone get to know each other on the floor and stuff like that? Is the food and accommodations nice?</p>
<p>thaisteak, if you are social, you will have NO problem meeting people living in a dorm. Just say hi to whomever you meet on your floor and go from there. Dobie also tends to have a lot of parties on the weekends, you should check those out in order to meet people.</p>
<p>If I may ask, do you live at Dobie MagicMan522?</p>
<p>thaisteak, I replied to your PM</p>
<p>Also - i’ve made several posts about Dobie in recent threads that may help answer any other questions about my experience.</p>
<p>thaisteak-please call our office to see if you can get a supplemental contract–512-471-3136</p>
<p>So it seems like transfers this year will not be offered any more regular contracts I’m assuming. Only supplemental if possible? TMT90 applied early January last year (as did I did this year) and never received one. Looking at other housing options would probably be best now…</p>
<p>Many people in supplemental housing get moved into a regular room pretty quickly.</p>
<p>ah, sorry for late reply, i browse these forums rather infrequently. anyway, i believe i applied in like april. I didnt realize that you were supposed to apply as soon as you turn in your admission application, and i ended up applying the day i found out i was accepted.</p>
<p>Edit: speaking of supplemental housing though, I just signed up for resnet, and i was wondering if i’ll have access to my resnet connection in supplemental housing. i ask this because from what i read, it sounds like you can only access your internet connection from a single port they assign you in your dorm room. do supplementals have these ports as well?</p>
<p>Resnet also covers your wireless access, which is across the entire campus.</p>
<p>Yes, supplementals have ResNet ports, Cable TV and microfridges.</p>
<p>How did you sign up for resnet?</p>
<p>via my application status page</p>
<p>Jeptha, did you get a housing contract yet?</p>
<p>i got the contract the second i accepted their offer of supplemental housing over the phone.</p>
<p>How did you get one before I did?! I applied earlier than you 
BOOO… Oh well. I think I’m living in Dobie next year. Bleh… I hope it’ll be good!</p>
