House Hopping Day for juniors

Juniors: tomorrow is House Hopping Day! If you're aiming to get a woodframe house next year, be sure to check out houses so you have an idea of where you want to live. Here's the info:

This Tuesday from 4-8pm will be Woodframe House Hopping, where you can check out what the woodframes actually look like on the inside. Stop by our table outside Pi Cafe to grab a list of the houses for your group size, and then go knock on doors!

If you have questions, email Peter Hill '08 at pshill@wesleyan.edu, or just find him at Pi.
Good luck with the stressful ordeal that is GRS! And don't worry; it works out well for the vast majority of people. I promise. Although I say this as someone who has never yet had to go through it. Still, it can't be thaaat bad...

Don't want to be homeless next fall? *

Okay, so I know room selection seems like it's AGES from now, but I figured I'd give a short update on some of the changes for the upcoming year. I think these were briefly discussed in the Argus last semester...I apologize if this is boring or redundant.

In the past, every class year (aside from new students) has been given the opportunity to form groups of 1-6 people to enter into the housing lottery. This year, things are different...

  • Class of '08 (rising seniors): May create housing groups of 1-6 people.
  • Class of '09 (rising juniors): May create groups of 1-4 people.
  • Class of '10 (rising sophomores): May create groups of 1-2 people.
This may seem strange at first glance, but the Undergraduate Residential Life Committee (URLC) came to this decision after analyzing the availability of class-appropriate housing for each class year. In reality, there is no housing unit that is made specifically for 6 sophomores. Therefore, it creates the unrealistic expectation that 6 people will definitely be living together. The hopes are that this will eliminate the great amount of frustration associated with the housing lottery.

The consequences are that all you '10ers need to find one really good friend...OR YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN. GASP!

* This post will be of no aid to the class of '07 in avoiding homelessness. Especially if you're an art or philosophy major. Sorry.
