So I was an ignorant fool and didn’t submit my housing deposit until January 5th. What I’ve heard is that I’m not going to find out my dorm until as late as July. Is this true? When will I get an update on my fall/spring housing?
Depends. Are you on the waitlist? Some years, students have received assignments as late as August.
There are a couple spots available for Fall in the luxury dorms at Ivy House and Windsor Hall (not owned or managed by UF, but newer/nicer than most standard dorms, and walking distance to UF classes and next to Sorority Row). They were full for fall, but had 2 spaces open up after students declined their admission to UF. If you don’t have a guaranteed spot for Fall in the UF dorms, you might want to check those out.
Call now! You might be on the waitlist or get put in a triple, but there’s a chance (I think) that there won’t be room at all which would mean youd need to make other housing arrangements. Also, if you call they might assign you, my friend called and they assigned him right away.
