<p>In the admission packet they said that they would let us select housing in April. But when exactly? Do they have to wait for the RD people to make their decision? And will they mail the housing forms (where you indicate preference of dorm etc) via snail mail or will they do it online? I live in China so it takes about a month to receive mailed stuff. I don't want that to affect my housing choices.</p>
<p>Also, any opinions on the nicest freshmen dorms?</p>
<p>As a parent I know that you can sign up starting April 20th. Go to this website and it has all the details of what you do next. My daughter did receive a packet, but I think you can find all you need online here:

<p>Someone else can give you the relative merits of the dorms!</p>
<p>Thanks lightmom!
And also, what happens if I can’t attend the Colonial Inauguration? In the link you gave me, it says “After you complete GW First Class and attend Colonial Inauguration, click here to register for classes, on the day you selected when registering for CI.”
If I don’t attend CI, does that affect my course registrations?</p>
<p>Sunny - As long as you have completed the housing registration form (on-line) before May 15th you’re fine. the prioritization happens after that date and goes EDI, EDII, RD. The residence hall, LLC, roomate characteristics are also taken into consideration.</p>
<p>They notify placement by e-mail June 8th.</p>
<p>As to your questions about what to do if you don’t attend CI - I’d specifically ask admissions for guidance and not this forum.</p>
