In case you haven’t already been frantically GChatted by friends, you should know your housing lottery number is now available. What isn’t available, despite the Housing site’s promises to the contrary, is everybody else’s. Begin frantically scrambling to figure out how many people will pick EC suites before you… now!
Update: “Daniel”, on the housing board, claims numbers will be up Tuesday. He does not, however, work for housing, so Bwog isn’t holding our breath. It’s almost as if… they didn’t plan for this? Nah.

@random If it’s not you with the shitty number then it’s some other poor schmuck.
@full list is up! http://www.columbia.edu/cu/housing/index.html
@shut up 2 years of 2000+ numbers and now I get in the 2,900’s. You don’t know about justice.
@2900 puts you in prime position for summer transfers actually; some nice dorms are kept aside for that. But I agree w/ your general point. Senior housing should be Karma based. If you’ve had 2 years of shitty housing, you should be first in line for senior housing. Gah.
@rising junior Could you describe summer transfers?
[Freshman: last choice; Soph: 2300s; Junior: 2700s. What did I do in a past life to deserve this kind of karma?]
@adf what does a number in the 2400 mean for a rising junior?
@Flex Mex Hope for Broadway singles?!
@hahaha :scary music::
WWWIIIEEEENNNNN!!!!!
@‚P‚O‚P‚S I just need a kitchen :O!
I semi-private bathroom would be nice too.
@alexw If you get worse than 1700 then they make you pee in a glass box on Broadway in front of everyone.
@Marc Johnson I got 26!
@Fuck you I remember you had a ridiculous lottery number last year as well. Clearly the councils have fixed this. If you want my vote, give me your lottery number.
@hmmm isn’t his name spelled with a k at the end?
@Whatever I’m bitter. 2 years of 2000+ numbers and now I get in the 1350’s. Where is the justice.
@Pigeon I’d pick Michael Beasley if I were you.
@CONFUSED I’m a junior and got #1. Is that like a joke?! So does that mean I pick first out of everyone or something? That would be awesome!! hehehe LOL
@Actually Yes it does. Congrats.
@... What is the best room? … I forget. I think it’s some giant Hogan single or something.
@went in as a group my number was up: 462… or is this subject to change?
@Pigeon General Selection is like Natural Selection in that it’s cruel and cold-hearted.
I wish we could intelligently design our dorms.
@Smith, Jones, Bob Rising Juniors, I meant to say.
@Smith, Jones, Bob So as juniors with a number in the 140s, what can we get in general group selection?
@why dont you go ask the HOUSING MESSAGE BOARD.
