djromano - I know this really sucks I’m about to panic as well and am actually in the process of searching for possible alternative off campus housing as well. If we’re going to be in Chelsea (assuming we get pushed to temporary hotel rooms), that’s going to be pretty far from campus, and the cafeterias…

When they reply regarding the move in date for temporary housing students, please post the response here… - from what I know I emailed them and after a while they told me that if we are to be placed to a dorm, then we can move-in at the regular August 25, if we’re assigned to a temporary hotel, we can only enter starting September 2 (a day before classes start), forcing us to either miss out on welcome week (and dorm preparations like buying textbooks) or stay at a temporary hotel (which will cost a bundle). I am seriously hating this right now - moreover I wish they could just tell us our assigned housing (whether it’s a dorm or just a temporary hotel room) fast because I feel like we’re just kind of stuck in limbo…

A month before school starts and we still have no idea where we’re going to stay…
