<p>nan2,</p>
<p>See above for my explanation of why Spring admits exist (the space exists not because fall admits drop out, but primarily because of Seniors that graduate in December and less demand for intro classes). As far as housing, it unfortunately is not guaranteed. However, regardless of whether you participate in the FPF program or not, there usually is little problem finding housing unless you wait until the last minute. There are a number of non-university housing options available (private dorms run by other entities, for example). Students who want to move into university housing in the Spring usually have little problems because many students move out to join frats or sororities, coops, etc.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
