I still didnt turn in my housing stuffDoes anyone know if its too late?
No it's not too late but, incoming freshman housing placements are made at the discretion of the housing coordinators, and are based primarily on the order in which students express their intentions to officially enroll at Howard University. Students cannot be placed in university housing until the enrollment fee and housing application fee are paid in full.
OK, so there's bisonroundup.com which seems to be for alumni. Is there a website for current and prospective students?
Yes, it's called Howard University
But seriously though, I think there are Facebook groups for Howard University current and future students and there might be some groups on Myspace also.
So there are websites without url suffixes now... okay...
(types Howard University into address box)
But yea, if you have a facebook hit me up and i can put you on to tha groups...
I'm assigned to the Baldwin Hall Tubman Quad. Can anyone give me a little insight as to the living conditions in this particular dorm? pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it will be greatly appreciated!

Just got my Housing Confirmation...
Carver Hall
With a "Single", regular room...
Does single mean i wont have a roomate?
Oh by tha way its $3,133 a semester... I know 4 star condo's that are cheaper...
Well don't worry about it because I have the exact same room assignment. Can a brother get a double. I know I might be difficult to live with but damn that 3,133

If you want a double room, then your best bet is to move out of Carver all together. The doubles in Carver are only SLIGHTLY bigger....you and another dude will be living on top of each other and thats NOT cool.
Try Drew Hall...the doubles in Drew are a very nice size. Cook Hall has some nice size doubles too but it depends on which floor you live on.
As far as the $3,133 I think pretty much all of the dorms cost around that much.
