Housing lottery #245

<p>What about the oakwood apartments? I havent heard much about them - do they go fast as well?
I’m still a bit confused about the whole lottery system. When it is my son’s time to choose, Is there some sort of real-time list that shows you what is currently left to pick from (kind of like open seats in a class) and the exact locations (like “apt. 305 in ruskin” for example), or do you just put in for a 3 person apartment anywhere? Do you know right away if you got what you asked for? Do you have 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices like when he signed up for freshman housing?<br>
Sorry for all the questions - I just don’t get it.</p>
