HEY JUNIORS, come get these
We’ll try to answer as many questions as possible, but we may not be able to tell what what your specific lottery number means at a certain moment. General debate, advice, and chatter about the housing process is highly encouraged. Plus, you can always stop by in person! We’ll be cheerfully chomping on Reese’s Minis, grooving with Housing staff, and neglecting our studies with abandon. Bwoggers will be more than willing to chat about the current situation and/or our hopes for the Bacchanal lineup… and of course, we’re still handing out Housing stickers. Happy picking and best o’ luck, all!

Look below for the latest numbers on what’s left! Bwog Count represents our unofficial tally of how many of a certain suite are left, and the Whiteboard Record will always reflect what’s currently being shown on the Housing whiteboard as the official count.
New this year: Suites in italic are partially occupied by RAs and riders.

@Anonymous Is there a chance there will be no singles at all left for rising sophomores? My group has a <200 number, would it be too risky to drop to general?
@Anonymous Which ruggles 6-person suite is left? Is it the one on the first floor?
@Dear Bwog How many 7-person suites are really left? What’s with the difference between the white board count and your count?
Thanks
@David The Bwog Count reflects what we believe the count to be after talking to people who have selected and looking at the floorplans in the room; the Whiteboard Count is Housing’s official published numbers on the whiteboard in John Jay. We aim to broadcast all information available to people who can’t be in the lounge, and this includes the Bwog staff count and the info supplied by Housing.
There were 9 Claremont suites available, and in our liveblog, we recorded 2 groups getting 7-person suites, so there are 7 suites left at the end of the day.
@Anonymous So…is there any chance they’ll let us do a Junior regroup or a ECX? Sophmores are going to get in, this is ridiculous
@what are the suite selection times? not going to lie, i want to just go in for the chocolate
@Anonymous How the fuck did a 25-person group get woodbridge 5E when seniors were shafted? I thought there were no E suites left at senior regroup.
@Anonymous Why are the Watt 1-BR rooms gone? I thought only the doubles were available for suite selection….
@Alex Watt 1-br suites are for two people, so they are in suite selection.
@Spec says that there are 40 Watt studio doubles left, but you say there are 41. Check?
@River The River walk-through was gone when I went, so we had to settle for Watt. Dammit.
@hahaha still Brian One Bwogger was just heartbroken:
“First no mini Reese’s left and now no Ruggles left! WORST DAY EVER”
@Now that it's relevant... which floors in Wien have been renovated recently? =)
@cc13 all of them have received new bathrooms in the past 2 years. as for actual room renovations, i’m not sure. as a current wienie, i’d say look to floors with lounges.
@if we didnt show up do we automatically drop to gen selection?
@hahaha Brian. One Bwogger says: “Oh no, if another 8-person group comes in, I’m done!”
Do you want some whine with that cheese???
@Anonymous Switch those two around, friend. Cheese with that whine.
@1178 Juniors? That was listed as an 8-person group. How did that happen?
@Anonymous What’s so attractive about K-line Watt doubles? Sure they have a big square footage number, but it seems like almost all of that is wasted on the big useless corridor; usable space seems to be less than the D-line to me…
@Guest Bwogger Theoretically, whatever you lose from the initial 276 will be about equal to the D-line’s 240 since the floor plan isn’t to scale. That being said, even if it’s slightly smaller, the light you get facing the street makes it look all the bigger.
@Anonymous six* person suite
@Anonymous DONT ROOM ON RUGGLES 5!! A group of obnoxious football players are in the sixth person suite
@check yoself Firstly, not all of them are football players. Second, all of them are real people (really good people as well, some of the best you’ll ever meet). Thirdly, you’re just jealous that their lottery number was 95.
@Anonymous I’m in a group of 7 all rising juniors. Three of us will be studying abroad next year second semester. What are the chances that more than one person will be placed in our suite?
Anyone have an idea? Our selection time is in an hour….
@Anonymous Low. I know two people who ended up with dingles this year due to their roommates leaving/studying abroad.
@Anonymous High, the opposite happened to me. Maybe you’ll be better off breaking up, than taking the risk of having random people show up. It can be awkward…
@Anonymous yeah probably not worth it
@Anonymous ruggles 8 person suites have rats. plan accordingly
@Anonymous as a group of 4 sophomores, with our appointment tomorrow, what are our options? could we pick doubles somewhere, or do we have to drop into general selection?
@Anonymous you have to drop to general =[ it sucks, rising juniors don’t have a pair up/regroup option!
@Hmm Assuming you mean RISING sophomores, then you can pick doubles or you can drop to general. Your call, really.
@Anonymous they pick tomorrow, they have to be current sophomores
@terrible lottery number Some of us rising juniors pick early Friday morning. Double whammy, housing.
@Anonymous A bunch o’ freshmen groups pick tomorrow, too.
@Anonymous FREE ICE CREAM by Van Am quad
Om nom nom
@uggghhhhhhhhhhh so i guess the 19th 8-person group should be worried :(
@EC hopeful What was the most recent group’s lottery number to pick into EC??
@ec 6th floor doubles Do these rooms have any access to a kitchen? or do you just need to know someone with a suite that you can use?
@David Nope, and there are actually no kitchens on the 6th floor: http://housingservices.columbia.edu/files/housingservices/floorplans/east_campus/east_6.pdf
Bummer.
@Anonymous Spec says only 9 woodbridge. Please tell me they’re wrong!!
@Anonymous Mobile coverage not working!
@David Hmm, can you be a little more specific?
@Anonymous it says “coveritlive does not currently have any live events” =[
@David Hmm, you’re right… stick to looking at our chart for now.
(And maybe take a few notes in class.)
@Anonymous how exactly did a group with 1 sophomore and four juniors pick into ecx already? that would make them 18 wouldn’t it? Our point value is 22 and we haven’t even picked yet!
@David ’twas a mixed-point group with seniors! Apologies for the miscommunication.
@Anonymous how far will the ECX’s drop?
@All the way? It looks like to the very last of the juniors, but no further.
@Anonymous Chances of watt double for a freshman group tomorrow??
@David None of the studio doubles have gone right now, pairs are still mainly picking into Woodbridge. You’ll have a better idea at the end of the day—check our chart then!
@Anonymous can you please post what number they’re at and the points?? please??
@Claire But of course!
