Housing selection is tonight. We all got our lottery numbers a few weeks ago, and tonight we look at floor plans and tell Student Affairs where we want to live. Because I'm an RA, I worked apartment selection last week and got to see how it worked--- some people get pretty upset if you take "their" spot, but it's all determined by the random lottery numbers, so no one really gets mad. Plus, I would say all the housing is nice, so it's not as if you get stuck living somewhere that's somehow lower quality.
Postscript: Alice and I are going to live on second Villa, a cute little hall right in the middle of campus, off the rotunda--- HOORAY!!!! :-D
