<p>sunnyflorida - my son and his current roommate want to live in Ragans next year too. He will be a sophomore and his priority is also low (64). I think they are going to put Ragans first. I think it’s hard to get in Ragans because juniors and seniors have first priority, even if their priority number isn’t as good. Does that make sense and is it correct? I like the idea of putting a deposit on an apt. “just in case” - we’re trying to figure out what to do since his roommate has a two-year prepaid dorm contract, although he doesn’t. However, after all the advice from other parents and students on this thread, we are thinking that the dorm apt is a better option for a number of reasons (safety, security, parking, etc.). He is okay with it…he would probably rather be off campus, but I hope he can get into Ragans. He’s in Gilchrist now, and is thinking about Wildwood as a second choice (even as a sophomore, and knowing it’s traditional dorm vs apt). He said the location of McCollum (the other apt-style dorm) isn’t that great. Does anyone know anything about McCollum and would you choose it over Wildwood?</p>
