What are some tips to getting the best housing on campus?

To get the best housing, it varies from campus to campus. Sometimes it helps if you get your housing application in right away. Sometimes it helps if you have special needs. Sometimes it can help when you actually get there - and I mean get there when the residence halls open. Whoever gets to the room first gets the best bed, a lot of times, so timing would be everything when it comes to that. The other thing is to talk to students on campus. I haven't mentioned this enough. If there's someone living in a residence hall that you want to live with, email them. Connect with them through Facebook. Ask them, "How did you get to live here? What are some tips?" Within each campus, there are some inner workings, and if you can work the inner workings and find out how to work it, then you can end up working yourself into the best living situation.
