<p>Can freshmen refuse the first housing offer (northwood) and hold out for an alternate assignment? We’re supposed to be guaranteed housing, right? Worst case is they give you northwood again?</p>
<p>Yes, freshmen can refuse the first-round housing offer, but you won’t hear back from them until late August for the second-round. Then it’s not guaranteed that you’ll get northwood again.</p>
<p>wow freshmen getting an offer on northwood? that’s ridiculous, that’s not even a dorm…</p>
<p>^They’re short on housing. I had a friend (senior) who was supposed to live in Northwood, but they kicked him out because they needed his room to house freshmen. He got compensation though - there were several options and he chose to take $1500 in compensation.</p>
<p>LOL that’s what happens when 6900 admitted students paid their deposits, with a projected class of 6300+.</p>
<p>this is funny. Freshman in northwood?</p>
<p>turn it down, man, there is no place worse than Northwood on campus</p>
