<p>Hi ILfather, my S just submitted his housing app last week. It turned out to be a little more involved than he had thought. Meaning, there are essays. Yes I know…more essays! If you select a living learning community then there are essays concerning that community. My S applied for the engineering community and also the honors community. I do like that they spell out the increased cost of certain dorms. My S seemed concerned with being near food as well, he was satisfied that there was a dining hall fairly near the dorms he selected.</p>
