It's that time of the year again when returning students have to start thinking about next year. What room will I live in? Who will I live with? These are only a few questions that come up when the room lottery and selection process begins. Personally I think the whole process is bull***t. This school makes up so many random rules just to make things complicated. Of course maybe if I got a better number I wouldn't be so angry about the situation. Anyone who has been at this school for more than a year knows what I'm talking about. They like to make everything so complicated with these little rules when things could just be much more simple. More so for seniors than anyone else is this process frustrating. Because I don't have a good enough number I have no chance of living in a single in founders. Even though my friends have good numbers , below 108 they still can't even bring me in because my number is above 108. Also the process of senior suites vs senior, junior, or even sophomore combinations is frustrating. Because I plan to live with my friends who are younger than me I have to wait almost a whole day to select my room, even though I am a senior with a decent number for a suite. Maybe I'm just bitter, but it seems like the same people always get the good numbers and I get the can. Maybe we'll see how angry I am about this after things work out for me. Who knows...

ReplyDeleteKeith,
ReplyDeleteI hear ya on the stress caused by room selection! I am thankful that I didn't have to go through the torture for another year, believe me! I find it even more so frustrating that the rules seem to change every year, and your account always seems to be on hold for a parking ticket when you need to get your room deposit receipt or you're having scheduling problems when you need proof of twelve credits. Good luck man. On the bright side, the campus is pretty small so wherever you wind up, you won't be too far away from the action.
