<p>I just read in the marketing material from NEU that admitted students ought to send housing deposits asap in order to ensure a room on campus. Apparently there are some dormitories 2 - 3 T-stops from the campus and one could end up there if the deposit is not received well in advance.</p>
<p>The second info I heard is that we should disregard the above statement from the prospectus, that all housing applications are being collected by the housing department and only in early August, are the students paired and the notices will go out.</p>
<p>Finally, from a parent of a current student (freshman), I heard that there is a lottery even for freshmen.</p>
<p>Does anybody know what is really going on?</p>
