<p>Unfortunately, most students sign up for housing and pay the deposit immediately as all but 25-50 of it is refundable if you decide to go somewhere else. They make getting the deposit back easy. Shoot, for UF most students sign up for a priority number ONCE THEY SUBMIT the application and get the link to do so. UF has the same problem. You have to sign up early and pay a deposit for a shot at on campus freshman housing. UF gives you the privilege of paying the deposit when you apply. I think they make big bucks over students forgetting to ask for the deposit back. </p>
<p>I will tell you that 2 years ago a neighbor got into FSU late OFF OF THE WAITLIST. The ADMISSION was off of the wait list in mid May, not just housing. She had one of the lowest housing priority numbers that year assigned. She was also told she would not have an assignment made for some time. She heard in July that she had a spot in a dorm.</p>
<p>I would be more positive about your chances. I can tell you that there are summer students who start summer C in JUNE who WILL NOT RETURN IN AUG for the fall. There are also students who decide in JUNE AND JULY that they do not want to leave home and go away after all. There are students in JULY who hear from FSU that their admission was rescinded for D’s on the final transcript. </p>
<p>I would KEEP your deposit on record, try not to stress too much, and try not to send emails that reflect the frustration that you feel right now. If by mid JULY there is no room assigned, make a trip up and check out the private dorms. Southgate is just across the street from Landis and Gilchrist and no bus needed. Southgate has NOT BEEN FULL by end of JULY in at least 3-4 years. They have RA’s meal plans, and are as close to FSU as you can get. Osceola Village is NOT a huge walk, and they have both dorm/residence hall living and apt living. The DORM section was renovated a few years ago. My daughter stayed there the summer between junior and senior years of high school when she went to a summer program. They walked in a group to FSU and back several times a day. Parking is good, they have 9 mos leases, PA’s an meal plans. They also usually do not fill.</p>
<p>I have never seen Studio Green, but my daughter’s freshman roommate was an RA there for her sophomore year. </p>
<p>Hang in there.</p>
