Last Minute Things To Do

Just over a month left! It seems like Spring break marks the beginning of the end for the Thomas kids. The school year is almost out, so now it's time to plan for next year: Housing lottery, dorm deposits, pre-registration, etc.

The first thing to think about is what classes we want to be in. It's really important to have a good relationship with your advisor! Maybe, if need be, they could pull some strings to get you into classes that could potentially not be available to you or are already filled.

Next, you defiantly need to make sure the $200.00 deposit for the housing lottery is in by the 7th. That basically just guarantees that you will have some say in where you will be placed and with whom. The number draw for the lottery is the 9th and the 10th of April. That just tells you how good your odds are of getting top choice by not only seniority but also by luck. It's when you will be able to choose your room, and with whom!

By the 13th of April we should know where we will be placed next semester; hopefully in a spot that my roommate and I were planningn already being. It seems like there are a lot more freshman that will be joining the Thomas crew next year which means that a large number of this year's freshman will be battling to get into other dorm housing.

Luckily for some of us, I heard it through the grapevine that they have designated doubles in village next year. (Which if privacy, room, and cleanliness are important, village double will definitely be top on your choice list.)
