Yeahhh...soo I don't have housing

I got a letter yesterday saying that housing has reached capacity. And I feel some type of way about that because I have been on the Office of Residence Life's ****, and now I'm a freshman and I'm not even sure if I can go if I don't have a place to go. I'll be robbed of the dorm experience JUST because they decided they wanted to respond when they FELT LIKE IT. Lately Howard has really been pissing me off and I haven't even STARTED THERE yet. I'm starting to have regrets about paying that enrollment fee. But yeah anyways, any recommendations on where I could stay that isn't costly, but isn't in a bad neighborhood? I guess I'm gonna stick it out because HU is still my dream school, but I swear I feel like choking whoever is in charge of all of this.

That is so messed up. I hope that it all works out for you.

well u r gone get a sic refund check.. get an apt.... close to tha college...

I can understand that you are really upset and all but you need to understand that Howard in going through a lot and yeah its not cool but we gotta make do. I am not saying that it is okay for them to do this to you but there are a lot of circumstances to take into consideration which you will see next year. The neighborhood near Howard and Meridian is not as bad as it seems. A lot of single white females live here and run with their boxers all day and night. I am looking for an investment property to buy right now so I can give you a few tips. You can check apartment listings in washington d.c just by putting that in your search engine. You are looking for property in the Ledroit Park, Bloomindale, Shaw, U Street Market.Zips codes like 20059,20001. Anything NE might be a little too far for you especially as a freshman. Join all the social networking sites such as Myspace and facebook... and put yourself out there that you are looking for a roommate. I don't know if they still have work for housing but see if you can do anything in the mean time. Ask if they have a waiting list or something too.
