I was waitlisted from BU and would go there in a heartbeat. I’ve decided on Pitt from my schools I’ve been accepted to and I’ve been talking to people who are going there and it seems like a good fit but something still doesn’t feel right. BU said they’d contact me by June 15. I put my deposit down at Pitt and my parents said they don’t mind losing that money if I get into BU but what do I do about a roommate/housing? Wouldn’t most people already have a roommate by then?
BU won’t finish it’s housing assignments until mid-August. I believe they guarantee housing for all incoming freshmen. In previous years, they’ve used local hotels. I gather that they did not need to use hotels for the incoming classes for the past two years. You’ll be fine. Lots of kids have random roommates.
