We'll stick these on ya
Feel free to comment on this post! 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 Swedish Fish, 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. Oh, and in case you didn’t hear… We have 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.

@Worried Are there actually 23 ECX suites left? Spectrum is saying only 16 lately.
@Anonymous Bwog, please tell us Spec is wrong!
@Anonymous where were the stickers? I didn’t see them when I came in for my free candy
@Claire That’s weird. We were handing them out pretty enthusiastically…
@IS SENIOR REGROUP OVER?
@Confused What is Symposium? And what are cow tails?
@Claire These things: http://bwog.com/2011/03/13/bwog-housing-review-introducing-symposium/ and http://www.oldtimecandy.com/cow-tales.htm
@Anonymous many rooms are left in \Symposium\? Getting different numbers from different sources
@BARNARD CAP COVERAGE pleeeaseeeee
@Anonymous I think then they’re up for grabs during general selection.
@Anonymous can you give an estimate of how many seniors are doing regroup?
@Claire Almost 80!
@Anonymous HOW MANY LEFT???
@Anonymous can we get some mobile coverage?!
@Anonymous What is going to happen to the 5 person exclusion suites if they aren’t picked during suite selection?
@Anonymous our group got an EC townhouse, we don’t know the RA or rider. I don’t know… should i be jumping up and down??
@well our staff is super chill for the most part! so yeah
@Anonymous I’m glued to the liveblog, nervous as hell and this doesn’t even directly affect me. But if my friends don’t get an EC suite, where will I party next year? WHERE?
@Anonymous any hope for the junior 6 person groups???
@Livebwog 3:06 What on earth is a 5-person EC townhouse? Didn’t think those existed…
@Claire we meant 5 rooms! It was a group of six people
@bwog should a group of seven with a good lottery number drop down to general selection to avoid one person having a tiny room? is broadway feasible?
@old geezer yes, broadway should be feasible depending on your point value and just how good that lottery number is (20/>1000 to be sure). However, you might have to settle for a low floor on broadway, if that is an issue
@Anonymous What are the options for juniors who don’t get their suite option because they all run out? Can we break down into doubles or are singles the only option?
@David You gotta drop down into General. Seniors get Regroup, sophomores can pair up into doubles, but juniors just drop down.
@Anonymous Dear Bwog,
What’s it looking like for Broadway singles? Is there any way for me to find out how many are left and which ones they are?
Thanks!
@David People are picking into suites these few days, so it’s not affecting the singles outside of suites (such as Broadway singles). To get an idea of your chances, check out our housing calculator: http://bwog.com/2011/03/21/stop-counting/
@Anonymous what is the deal with the supposed harmony 6-person suite? I’ve never heard of it, is it that section on the first floor?
@Claire Yes it’s on the 1st floor (
Mezzanine) and has 4 singles and an 186sqftsingledouble@Nope It’s on the ground floor and the 186 sq ft room is a double, not a single as noted.
@Claire thanks. too much sugar/carbonation
@cc14 what do pink stripes on a floor plan mean? its over the entire floor
@Anonymous how did 2411 get a 3 person suite? they are a 4 person group
@Claire They were a four-person group! Typos ftw
@Anonymous thanks it for keeping it real Brandon, stay strong!
@Claire It really depends on how you feel about sharing your kitchen and bathroom! If you want your own, you should definitely go for Watt.
@Anonymous Dear Bwog,
Which of the following is better than the other: a studio double at Watt or a big double at Broadway?
Thanks!
@David You gotta keep a few things in mind: you get a private kitchen/bathroom in Watt, but you’ll get a larger floor lounge in Broadway and you’re a block closer to campus. For more, read our reviews of Broadway and Watt!
@Anonymous Thanks! Watt it is!
@Anonymous All bu the 16th have wood flooring. The 16th is supposed to be renovated this summer.
@Anonymous I’m a junior in a 6-person suite with number 2558, and we have a Barnard student….is there ANY way that we’ll get a 6-person suite? Can we get ruggles?
@David Looks like there are over 20 groups of 6 ahead of you right now, and there are only 18 6-person suites left. It seems that it’ll all come down to which groups drop to General. And remember, it’s not all Ruggles and townhouses: don’t forget about that Harmony 6-person.
@Anonymous Does the Barnard quota get filled often? Do you think it will be filled before 2558 on Friday? Thanks
@Anonymous hahaha you mean 2554? way to know our lottery number!
@Anonymous everybody left in housing selection before my group drop down to general please!
@Stanley Bwog’s housing coverage is obsessed with apples. More fruity entertainment!

Housing people are real nice.
@Life sucks Senior year = Ruined
@Carolyn Cheer up ole chap. You’re a senior. That’s HUGE! And come get a sticker.
@PPA 1849 really was a good year
@abroad I’m abroad. Can you snail mail me a sticker? I would freaking love that.
@Anonymous me too? they look awesome.
@Alum think twice before taking ECX, seniors. The tiny double is bad enough, but the worst part is mental: waking up everyday and seeing your friends coming out of their massive singles.
@anon yeah but its still EC where all your friends are living, and the common space is huge
@Anonymous What’s the deal with the Harmony 6 person suite? Singles or doubles? Kitchen?
@David We couldn’t find the Harmony floorplans for a while (lolloollo) but Housing just put them up.
What’s available for Harmony:
– 1 6-person suite on the first floor. 4 singles and 1 double (186 sq. ft.), includes 1 kitchen and 1 bathroom
– 1 214 sq. ft. double on the mezzanine
@Anonymous Harmony suite has two bathrooms, one with a tub and the other with a shower stall.
@Anonymous can you get the 411 on how many more barnard spots there are/what does the cap look like? love you always bwog.
@Anonymous Nope! Sophomore pair up happens during your appointment time!
@Rising sophomore Thank you, mystery person!
@Rising sophomore Forgive my ignorance, BUT: will there be a separate time for sophomore pair-up (as there is for senior regroup)?
Our suite group (six sophomores) has a good lottery number, and we’re thinking of splitting into doubles. I can’t seem to figure out whether that number will be as wonderful if we wind up choosing after our registration time on Friday afternoon.
@Sophomore Pair Up Happens during your lottery appointment. you split into doubles on the spot.
@lim t-->appt time, hope = 0 Does the EC 4-person (RA+Rider) have all singles or is it with a double?
@nerd fist bump liking this for the title. Can’t answer your question though
@Renovated EC floors which EC High-rise floors are renovated?
@Anonymous Specifically, which EC high-rise floors are carpeted and which ones have wood flooring?
@Anonymous None of them have wood flooring, they have that crappy linoleum that peels up in places.
(20 and 16 both have carpet. I dunno about the others)
@Anonymous what happened to the ruggles 3 person RA suites?
@David We misinterpreted Housing’s website but clarified with them yesterday about this: 215, 219, 515, and 519 are NOT reserved for RAs/riders and are part of full 6-person suites.
@Anonymous so there are no 3 person options except for the 3 claremonts?
@David Yep.
@Anonymous If I’m in General Selection, can I come by and get a “Single–and loving it” sticker?
