Hi @mamaduck. I hope the RA position works out for your D, especially since she didn’t get a placement yet for next year. I also just shake my head at the whole housing system. D and her friends opted to go off campus, to Park Place. I am not thrilled with that decision either, but the lottery does make them getting what they want - or apparently sometimes anything, very difficult.

@snowdog I think the problem is that they guarantee housing to all first years - that may come up at accepted students day - and at this point they don’t know exactly how many spots to hold for freshmen. So upperclassmen like mamaduck’s D are left in limbo. But, the likelihood of mamaduck’s D, as a junior, wanting to live in the freshmen dorm is pretty small. So, there must be more to RIT’s algorithm than my English major mind can comprehend.

Happy Pi Day.
