Housing rumors revealed
By Olivia Fawcett
Copy Editor
Last Tuesday, I sat down with Elizabeth
Abrams and Michael Cohen to discuss the
housing policies that will be instigated in
Fall 2013.
There are currently two rumors floating
around campus that have caught every
student’s attention: that Green will become
a freshman dorm, and that students who are
at least 21 will be allowed to drink in their
rooms.
Both of these rumors are true.
Because there have previously been more
male than female freshman. Green will
become an all-male Freshman dorm. Instead
of dividing the incoming freshman throughout
campus, there will be two freshman dorms.
Beam and Green. Beam will be co-ed, while
Green will consist only of males.
There are no longer “dry dorms.’’ All
students who are of the legal drinking age
will be permitted to drink alcohol in their
room, regardless of what building they are
staying in.
Group housing will also be offered again
this year. If a group of friends wishes to live
in the same village unit, then they may submit
an application to Campus Life. Ideally, this
will create a sense of commimity and diversity
within the student body. However, an NCAA
rule states that no more than 25% of any
athletic team may reside on or in a particular
floor or unit, and that no more than 50% of a
unit may belong to a single team.
What is happening to East Jones you might
ask? Very similar to what Green has been. East
Jones will be offered as an inexpensive living
space, particularly for students of sophomore
status or higher who prefer single rooms. The
floors will be divided by gender.
The housing lottery is upon us, but if you
have not been preregistered, you CANNOT
apply for housing. The lottery will be divided
up by both class and the academic standing
of individual students. For example, if you
are a rising senior with a 3.7 GPA, you might
have first choice in the housing lottery, but if
you are a rising sophomore with a 1.2 GPA,
you will not have as many options to choose
from.
Here is a quick calendar of the housing schedule:
