Bwog just checked in with Matt Kingston, the Associate Director for Housing Operations at Barnard, and he provided us with a revelatory tidbit. The Barnard Housing website has an Available Rooms site that automatically updates after every single group/person picks a room. Basically, immediately after a room is picked, the housing system updates the site. The site includes links to a mobile site, and has different available room pages for Seniors and non-Seniors. So, that makes everyones’ life infinitely easier. The remaining schedule for Barnard Room Selection: Tuesday will be mixed-class groups of rising seniors and juniors, followed by rising juniors. Friday will be all remaning mixed-class groups including rising sophomores, and the rest of the day will be entirely rising sophomores. And that’s it: no liveblogs, and much, much less stress. Happy picking!

@Anonymous Less stress, except for the small part where half of the senior class wanted in on the 9 620 5-person all-single suites. I think that the last one was gone by 9:45 am, and the rest of us were left to stare sadly at the available rooms website.
@BC 2012 This is just further proof that barnard admins have their shit together. There’s so much less red tape to go through than our neighbors across Broadway.
@you forgot to mention the new room review feature. best. idea. ever.
@bc2011 thanks to res life for finally getting it right and for finally giving me a GREAT lottery number.
