Does your college student always have some drama about dorm housing selection?

<p>There was much drama last year and there appears to be drama again this year. Last year, they had 4 they were trying to get into a suite together and by the time they picked, every group of four was gone. She ended up on the guaranteed wait list which meant she was guaranteed housing but had no control over where or with who. She got a single (which costs more, of course) and her roommate from last year also had a single in her suite. It was very frustrating to have no idea where she would be or how much it was going to cost until mid July when payments were due August 1st. </p>

<p>This year, I got a text “Room selection is all messed up again. Is it ok if I end up in a dorm that requires a larger meal plan?” I told her that was fine with me because it would be cheaper than all the delivery she orders all the time. I think it is always the worst for the sophomores because freshman have their guaranteed dorms; seniors choose first; juniors choose second and sophomores get whatever is left. </p>
