<p>They’re on Atwood, incredibly old, and the building is small. I haven’t known anyone who ever stayed there (although obviously SOMEONE did at some point). There is also Centre-Plaza apartments down on Centre Ave near the grocery store. Those are also older and tend to be left around because you have to rely on the shuttle to get anywhere near campus in a reasonable amount of time.</p>

<p>The former. Whomever in his group has the lowest number is the decider for the group (i.e. if three boys A, B, C have numbers 245, 678, and 3299, boy A will be logging on to pick their rooming since they used boy A’s lottery number). Be aware that boy A will need to know the meal plan preferences for both boy B and C when they choose housing (and I can’t remember if he would also need to know boys B and C’s peoplesoft ID number, but it may be good to have). He will essentially see a list of all the apartment/suite buildings and which exact room numbers are remaining to be picked for each building. </p>

<p>Yes. Say Boy A goes online and there are rooms left in Ruskin, Panther and PA. He picks Ruskin. Apartments 206, 314, 517, and 609 are left. He clicks on 517 and puts in his name and boys B and C. They are now living in 517 for next year.</p>

<p>Technically all the rooms still available when you go to select housing are your options. There’s no ranking. You just log on, click on the available buildings/rooms and call it a day.</p>
<p>I will add that you may be able to predict ahead of time what kind of room you can get. Panther Central will release the list of apartment/suite lottery people (in order) about 1-2 weeks ahead of when you pick your room. You could count you spot in that list, count the number of apartments available, and know whether or not you can get an apartment in the building you want.</p>
