<p>for an a 78, what are the cut-off between the 3 houses? I have a mid-low number so I just want to know what are my chances to be in Scales vs. Sessions. I kinda doubt it being very likely but still either house seems to be a good choice.</p>
<p>the official notice of what house ur in is going 2b e-mailed on July 15th according to the e-mail.</p>
<p>overwhelmedma – thank you! I have been looking at the fb group and that has been helpful. My d joined some time ago.</p>
<p>These phone numbers are not reliable as indicators of where the student will be living, according to an email my daughter received recently from Smith. Is this a new development?</p>
<p>According to current Smithies, it used to be a pretty reliable method. BUT several student employees who work with housing have assured us that it isn’t this year. Kai Devlin posted this on the facebook group:</p>
<p>“I work with both the Housing Coordinator and Summer Housing Assistant, and they have both assured me that the extensions have been moved around, lines have been repaired/replaced, and that the extensions a lot of people are finding are completely wrong. The extensions really don’t mean anything right now. Seriously, it’s a completely unreliable means of figuring out your housing assignment.”</p>
<p>People have been getting their panties in a twist about this, which I think is a bit ridiculous. We’ll find out by the 15th, and it wouldn’t really change anything if we knew right now as opposed to in a few weeks time. So relax and enjoy your summer! Maybe obsess about your FYS or classes instead. :]</p>
<p>Yes, already doing that; thanks.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if phone numbers have been posted yet/if so, where to find them/if not, when they’re likely to be available? I know using them to figure out housing isn’t reliable, but I’m still curious to see 
Thanks!</p>
<p>userid1234 - I believe directory info for new students was posted a few days before housing info was released last year. You could always try searching for yourself to see.</p>
<p>I don’t think phone numbers have been released yet. I know that since most people are off-campus, phone numbers and the like (mailbox numbers) won’t be visible. I’ve tried searching for my friends through the directory with no luck except for their name and class year.</p>
<p>Besides the general trends outlined here, the atmosphere in any given house changes with every new cohort. Also, some houses within areas are noisier than others - I live in a very quiet house, but the house next door is a party shack. Besides, there can be a huge difference between floors, even - my floor last year was super noisy, but like I said, my house was a super quiet house generally, so what gives…</p>
<p>I mean, college is about new experiences, and new living arrangements is about as new as it gets</p>
<p>Good luck 2016:)</p>
