<p>My son will be in school at 9 am tomorrow, and wants me to submit his applcation. Does anyone know if they ask personal questions (ie…study habits, cleanliness, personal preferences) on the application, and if so what they ask?</p>
<p>Good question! I’ll be submitting my daughter’s, as well. </p>

<p>They ask you for your housing choices and if you smoke. It’s not personality oriented at all; so I think you would be fine filling it out.</p>
<p>They compile all the applications at the end of the day. Doesn’t matter if you apply that morning or night.</p>
<p>Oh, good—I hope that means if a student does NOT want to be in a dorm room with a smoker, they’ll honor his or her wishes. Nothing worse (IMO) than stale smoke on people’s clothes and hair permeating the room. </p>

<p>Is smoking allowed anywhere in the dorms?</p>

<p>No. But, if someone smokes OUTSIDE in the designated areas, they always bring it back with them....clothing, hair, breath, etc. I have a relative who smokes and if she visits, I feel like I need to carry a can of room spray with me. I guess I'm just less tolerant in my old age. :) And this is from someone who grew up in the '50s and '60s with parents who smoked. Thankfully they quit over 35 years ago.</p><p>Me too. However, it killed both of my parents so I have no tolerance whatsoever.</p>
<p>I’m right there with you—no tolerance. I’m sorry about your parents, gotpeter. :(</p>

<p>So sorry gotpeter. My son has asthma (under control) and he can’t stand the smell. I definitely hope his roommates don’t smoke anything!</p>
<p>On the agreement papers, specifically on payment section, it asks for On-Line Payment Confirmation #.</p>
<p>Is that the same number as the receipt number for the $823 payment?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>yeeaa it is : )</p>
<p>alright thanks. =). Whoo!I’m so stoked.</p>
<p>I noticed you paid $823. Did you pay with a credit card and is the $23 the service fee? I went with the eCheck, so it was $800. First time I’ve used eCheck.</p>
<p>^^^^^Yup. $800 was the original housing deposit and $23 was the service fee. I’m not too familiar with this whole eCheck system yet. Heh. I’ll try to get used to it soon.</p>
<p>It was a piece of cake! Just give them the routing and account number of the checking acct. you intend to use. Of course, if they had taken Visa and they didn’t CHARGE a fee, I would have used a credit card. But it happens we have a college account set up with this chkg. account. No WAY would I have had $800 in our regular, household account at this time of the month! </p>
