For UF- you got it. The housing applications are sent out in rounds based off when you apply- the earlier you apply for admission the early you get the housing application, and the better the chance you have of getting housing. This is really important because UF housing is usually insufficient in terms of the spaces they have vs. the number of people who apply.

For FSU you can only apply for housing once you are accepted, so make sure you apply for admission during the October round (or else you’ll end up like me with a 5000 priority number or worse). I believe the cost is $225, but you can get all but $75 back if you don’t attend.

If you apply in the first round of FSU, and have the $225, I would pay it to be safe. UF decisions come out relatively late in the scheme of things, and you don’t want to be at the tail end of FSU housing round 1. If not, it should still be okay because there are roughly 6,000 housing spots at FSU, and even if your number is 7,000 not everyone ahead of you will be attending FSU.

I don’t know about the other schools- I took a bit of a gamble and only applied to New College, FSU, and UF. (You should look into New College if you haven’t already. While I didn’t decide to go there, it certainly has its benefits).

Best of Luck!
