<p>this is probably a stupid question, and i could probably easily find the answer elsewhere, but i was wondering…when is the deadline for housing? is it also may 1st w/ the SIR? and how do you request roommates and dorms/ whats the chance of getting the one u want? keep in mind that i am a spring admit.</p>
<p>housing deadline is may 4. you request a roomate when filling out your app. make sure you and your roomate have the same exact order of preferences or else you wont get the same room.</p>
<p>no, for spring it’s obtober 14 for spring admits…i thought*</p>
<p>its june 6th for falll extension spring admits and october 14 for just spring admits. i heard requestin usually doesnt work and i dont think spring and fall admits can request each other</p>
<p>Just be sure you answer honestly… and be careful how you answer!</p>
<p>When I signed up, I have a messy work space and have a laundry pile and I classified that as messy. I also like to listen to music when I study…</p>
<p>When I had the app, there were two options and then your housing preferences. </p>
<p>Guess what those options were:
Messy / Neat
Noisy / Quiet</p>
<p>…I picked messy and noisy my first year, (because I thought that meant disorderly and liked to listen to music). That lead to 8 months of utter misery with filthy, loud ****ing roommates from Hell. </p>
<p>Second year – QUIET and CLEAN. I was MUCH MUCH MUCH happier, even though I was the “slob” of the bunch. </p>
<p>If your idea of messy is leaving your laundry in a pile on the floor, and having papers scattered across your desk – then pick neat and just work it out with your roommate(s) if you get a neat-freak. It’s a lot easier than having disgusting slobs for roommates like me. I still have nightmares about the 3 month-old pizza box (the room smelled like ass for a month after I found it and got rid of it. Plus, I got charged for their disgusting mess after we moved out. They left it and I refused to clean it up.) and the heavy metal and rap at 2 AM.</p>
<p>And if you like to listen to music, get headphones if you have really quiet roommates, that way everyone is happy. 
Because after you get assigned, it is NEARLY impossible to get a room-change unless you find another person who wants to switch. Of course, my first case might be an extreme example – but it is the honest-to-god truth. O.O</p>
<p>IF you like to listen to music, PLEASE use headphones. Omg. How can you blast laptop speakers. That’s just disgusting. Unless you have monstrous 5.1 surround speakers, then I can understand. Otherwise headphones own. Yes, they make everyone happy too.</p>
<p>I put neat and here’s what I get. I never throw clothes around. The only clothes that may be lying around are a jacket on the back of my chair or a sweatshirt i wore during the day but got too hot midday and thats on my bed or my PJs on my bed. Otherwise, it’s clean.</p>
<p>My roommates throw crap all around the ground. We haven’t vacuumed in 3 months. I clean up after they get drunk. Our trash can overflows, we have food scattered around and one guy doesn’t shower… Yes he stinks.</p>
<p>hahaha as soon as I read the subject line, I knew it was my food-coloring-addicted friend! search for “dart bord” if you want to reminisce!</p>
<p>dude they better put us in the same room. i’ve heard some roommate horror stories before…</p>
<p>ahaha i just read our old forum and it brought a tear to my eye…oh the memories!!! die ucla! yeah we’ll for sure be roomies. we just gotta fill out everything the same. livejournal/aim/cc friends for life!</p>
