<p>If they move into the house (how common is this for 2nd semester), do you get your own room? Do you get reassigned?</p>
<p>More importantly, if you get your own room do you have to pay the rate for a single?</p>
<p>i’m pretty sure most people don’t move into the house until sophomore year</p>
<p>They don’t move in until sophmore year. They will need to pay social dues Spring freshman year. You probably won’t see your roommate very much for a few months. The first month she’ll probably have a mixer to go to every night.</p>
<p>^ every night? for a month?</p>
<p>how in the world do they get anything else done?</p>
<p>Current students may be able to answer better. My daughter didn’t go to every mixer, but there was one scheduled almost every night. On weeknights she would only show up for an hour or so. She had a pretty heavy workload, so she couldn’t really afford to “party” too much. Schoolwork always came first at her sorority. Her grades didn’t go down that semester and she didn’t take a lighter load. It was a lot of fun that spring semester for her. I think it was tougher for guys in fraternities. Some of her guy friends did end up lighten up their course load.</p>
<p>my roommate never parties.
i think she’s trying to make friends by joining a sorority.
when she said she was going to rush, i was surprised.</p>
<p>hmm. i never party either, and i dont plan on rushing. 
and based on this thread, i don’t think i’d have the time, anyway!</p>
<p>Time management is the easy answer. You don’t have to go to everything, its up to you and everyone knows school work comes first - we all are Cornell students…</p>
<p>I plan on rushing next spring, but if I end up pledging, I’m not going to let it affect my school work. I’m definitely going to go to as much as I can, but I’m not going to be out from 8 to midnight every weeknight. Not gonna happen. Weekends are a different story, but weeknights, I have to have time to do work, haha.</p>
<p>being in a house teaches great time management. I (and a lot of my friends in houses) go to the library in breaks during the day and right after dinner. I go out most weeknights besides the weekdays because i get work done before out time. would you really be getting much work done after 10:30 anyway?</p>
<p>^ Not on weekends, haha. I do on weeknights though. But that’s just because I get everything done before the weekend.</p>
