The points thing is all figured out ahead of time, and so the person with higher points gets the room they want. Since Villa has only about 150 beds, and most of the rooms are just like each other, there's not a whole lot of people in and out of rooms. And to be honest, I wouldn't mind too much.<br /><br />You can see if the furniture is modular just by looking in the door, and if you know how it works, you know where B and C wings meet, and which rooms have what. All the A and B wing rooms,and almost every other room on campus have the modular furniture, all the C wing rooms are non-modular.<br /><br />I'll find out for sure how it works, and which room I have in about two hours. I'll post about how it went. Doesn’t seem like it would. The points thing is all figured out ahead of time, and so the person with higher points gets the room they want.

Do you actually get to walk into the room you want, so you can see how it looks and know for sure what the size is, and whether it has modular furniture? Wouldn't that piss people off, what with complete strangers in their room?<BR/><BR/>Perhaps I should just go read that site you linked to. And it does make some sense, knowing where you're going to be for the following year, so early, so you can find alternate accomodation. I didn't find out if I even got into res until Late August, and we moved in Sept 2nd. It was nuts. I was so freaked out wondering what I'd do if I didn't get in (or had a double *shudder*) that is the most bizarre res thing I’ve ever heard of - doesn’t it get all confusing and crazy and stuff with everyone fighting over rooms?
