<p>Yea I don't think the SCI reasoning is correct because I ordered a computer from SCI, and I still don't exist in that account thingie. I think it's all just a fluke. </p>
<p>And from past experience, I don't think I will get it until Monday.
I didn't even get the mousepad thing someone spoke of, did everyone else get that?</p>
<p>i'm in ct and havent gotten it yet, or the housing (to be expected) but if ny gets it monday, i def should since i'm on the way to new york..which means 2 DAYS!!!</p>
<p>Yes I think you will get it on Monday- mail in nyc is always convoluted and usually a day slower than it should be.</p>
<p>Did anyone go to the mailbox today expecting housing info and all they got was a package about student government and religious life?</p>
<p>Geez they are sending all sorts of stuff. I got some flyer from the U-store yesterday. Haven't checked the mail yet today.</p>
<p>yea i got the mousepad, it was in the package i was talkigna bout</p>
<p>I just checked my mail- I got my AP scores (finally) but nothing from pton. I'll probably get the mousepad on monday and the rooming info on tuesday :(</p>
<p>This is too much pain :( Zant, phil and such - do let word out when you get your info... Are we the only ones who haven't heard yet. WHY won't the account thing work!?! NOT :cool: </p>
<p>:p</p>
<p>i didn't hear also :(</p>
<p>Hey! The Princeton Housing website has an annoucement for the Class of 2009 saying that the room stuff is being mailed out the 15th and that if you don't get the packet by the 22nd, you can e-mail them and they will send you another packet and release the information to you (at that time, I'm guessing)...so I guess there's mild comfort in the fact that we'll definitely know by the 22nd.</p>
<p>Yes, but they do specifically state that they won't release the information to you over the phone, so you'd have to wait for them to email :mad:</p>
<p>two of the kids in my town going to princeton received their housing (one got an 8-person suite when he requested a double lol, and both are in Wilson)</p>
<p>i think my postman died. im expecting my AP scores too, but no mails here yet.</p>
<p>Housing info would make for a perfect birthday present...<em>crosses fingers</em></p>
<p>Yeah...um...according to my roommate I'm in an 8-person too. At least I think that's what he was saying. In Wilson. Hmmm...which dorm, anonymou5?</p>
<p>damn it where's my housing stuff??? AHHHH :(</p>
<p>Got the orange envelope today. Housing (4-person in Rockefeller), banking, "IT in your room" - TV/Internet - and some more flyers and letters...</p>
<p>Got the AP's, too!</p>
<p>Someone asked if Butler was the "least favorite" of the students... I wouldn't describe res colleges according to popularity. Each tends to develop its own personality, and whether you personally like that personality will determine how much you like your residential college.</p>
<p>Personalities:</p>
<p><em>Rocky</em> -- Having the "best" housing on campus has gone to their heads.</p>
<p><em>Mathey</em> -- Stuck in the shadow of Rocky. The housing is in many cases just as good, but somehow Rocky has all the college spirit and pride. (It's quite nice all-around, though, having been a Matheyite.)</p>
<p><em>Forbes</em> -- Insular, like a boarding high school, just because it's far from campus.</p>
<p><em>Wilson</em> -- Being the party college and the center of everything gives it a certain type of prestige to equal Rocky. First of all, I think it was built specifically to be a residential college, so it has things like the Blackbox theater and dance studios and just more amenities in general.</p>
<p><em>Butler</em> -- It is not that bad, and the underdoggishness can be fun. Between the "Ruck Focky -- Go back to your Little shanties!" and the "We like it in the But!" shirts, you get the picture. Wu dining hall is considered the high point.</p>
<p>I say this as someone who probably would have <em>liked</em> Butler. Sure, it lacks the gothic architecture, but it would have been closer to all my engineering prereqs. Initially, as an only child not used to having people around, I would have liked having a hallway of compact singles more than roomies and a common room. You can live in a smaller space if it's just you. However, when I got a single my sophomore year, having lived the previous year in a Mathey suite, I went into roommate withdrawal and wanted nothing more than to have random people appearing for social visits all the time. It felt lonely, and I was surprised by this. (For my final two years, I've gone the two-room double route, and it fulfills both my social inclinations and my need for space.) So don't grumble about Butler until you've lived there two weeks; your reaction to it might surprise you.</p>
<p>That said, there is DEFINITELY inequality in the housing system. You can live in Rocky/Mathey and get screwed over. Don't dance and sing until you see the floorplan.</p>

<p>How did your roommate contact you Phil?</p>
<p>Why, through facebook, of course :) Haha. But he hasn't messaged me back so I can figure out where in the dorm we'll be. Oh well. So yeah, those of you who aren't expecting to find out where you live until the end of next week...I doubt it. Your roommate will more than likely contact you through facebook (if they have it) or e-mail :)</p>
<p>Well, unless my roommate is in a small section of Jersey, it's unlikely that they'll hear before me. But I'm still hoping I have no roommate since I requested a single...</p>
<p>Are you happy with Wilson, Phil?</p>
