<p>There’s no chance in hell you’re getting into a regular dorm before spring semester, even with your awesome spot on the waiting list, unless the situation with tripling changes drastically from what they’re expecting next year. It’s unfortunate, but it makes sense that they won’t go to the waiting list until everyone is detripled. Apartments are another story since they can’t detriple freshmen into those spots, and that’s how you might have a shot of getting on campus for the beginning of the fall semester. There are always going to be a few people who decide over the summer not to live on campus after all.</p>
