<p>MichiganGeorgia, there’s no reason to add the preferences to the application. Your student will participate in online room selection and will select his or her own space. HRC will not be making the assignments for those students who applied for housing by Jan. 1.</p>
<p>The preferences are to help us make assignments later that will allow for students to request some things about their assignment. This is mostly so that students are assigned to the housing style (price range) that they and their family can financially support. It also lets us know if students wish to be assigned to Honors Housing, as opposed to other options on campus.</p>
<p>ChristineF, yes. Students receive a proxy code when they apply for housing, no matter when they applied. This code allows another student to pull your student into a space when the earlier student participates in online room selection.</p>
