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.
Thanks everyone for the advice.As a matter of fact I know people on facebook that are in the same predicament.I still want to go, so I guess I'll get on that off campus housing. I'm just going to stay positive, hopefully something will work out.

Please stay positive...something might become available for you between now and August.
I don't think I can go now.It's hard because of my situation. I'm a foster child, so basically they won't let me go far unless a place is absolutely guaranteed right now.And Howard talking about waiting till August 1st just to get on a waiting list. I really made a mistake by just staying on one college, I should've had a backup. So yeah, I guess I'm not going to be a Bison.

omg i really hope you still be able to go to Howard
aww thats so messed up did you apply for housing early? I'm goin to pray for you and hopefully some decides they don' t want to go to howard anymore and then a room will be available...thats so messed up...freshman are supposed to be guaranteed housing or so i thought ... don't give up
Freshmen USED to be guaranteed housing but that changed when enrollment dramatically increased.
Now the university just tries real hard to place freshmen in dorms, but its no longer mandatory for the school to do.
Heyyyy everyone Thanks!!!Everything DID work out, I'm staying in Meridian...and...I have a SINGLE!!!I cannot believe that.But really, I had everyone calling the Office of Residence Life...I guess they got sick from hearing from my folks lol
... don't give up
