College Program Questions Thread, Pt 3

[BabyPiglet]

Don't be sloppy at the presentation!!! I wore a dress shirt, khakis, and a tie, but a nice button down shirt and pants is good, prob a belt also.......but DON'T come in like chains and big black clothing. Not that people can't wear that, but at Disney, probably not......So yea, my 2 cents. And everyone gets a recruiter e-mail just to clear that up. But don't get too discouraged!!!
Have a Magical Day!!!

Yep, you'll definitely want to look pulled together. Even if all you can manage that day is jeans and a nice top, just try to look like you tried. Make an effort!

Here's a question for y'all.

If two participants are doing the Roommate Matching Programme, do they have to check in at the same time in order to request a certain Apartment type? Or can they agree on a type and have the first person to arrive request it?

 

[DisKate]

Ok, I know I asked this question awhile ago, but I can't find it again

what are the dates for FA/Fall check-in?

TIA

If you do the roomie notification, you don't have to arrive at the same time. However, make sure you are in agreement over apartment complex/size (since the first person checking in decides where to stay).

Ok, I know I asked this question awhile ago, but I can't find it again

what are the dates for FA/Fall check-in?

TIA
~Katie

FA: May 20, May 27 (though I think it may be full), and June 15.
Fall: Aug 10, 12, 19, and 24.

My and my roomie are in housekeeping too. The only things I know about it is that there is basically a set schedule 8:30-4 or around there. Either you're an acutal mouskeeper or a runner (like delivering extra towels and what not...). I cant wait to get there to find out more info.

I have a situation that I'm not sure how to handle, so maybe someone can help me.

Ok, so I was originally accepted to the Fall season. I really wanted Fall Advantage, so I called my recruiter and told her. A few days later she called back and told me she had pulled some strings and I was approved to be in the FA season. I still have the voice mail where she said that she had changed it on her end and all I had to do was log on and accept.

I took her word for it, and I have spent the last two weeks getting everything straightened out with my school and what not. Doing ALL of this knowing I have been accepted into the Fall Advantage Season.

So today was finally the day I was able Accept my invitation to the program. I get all the way through to the Participation Acknowledgement Form where it still says that I'm in the Fall season. :

I know the obvious thing to do is call my recruiter back, but she wasn't in the office today. But even when I do call her tomorrow, what am I to say? I don't want to come off as rude and say something like, "You said you did this, but you didn't." Also, what if she doesn't remember that she did this? Do you think I'm out of luck?

This sucks.
Hopefully this will be sorted out, because I've told EVERYONE that I'm leaving June 15th.

Hello!

I have interviewed (April 13th!) and am waiting to hear back with regards to the Fall 2009 program, but the biggest question I have is for anyone who has done the CP in the Fall:

I have put down a deposit for a room in a residence hall at my school (University at Buffalo) but I emailed the head of the residence halls at my school and they basically told me that even if I lived in the residence halls last semester, if I didn't live in my room with my roommate for the fall, I couldn't just move in with her for the spring. I totally understand this, but it just makes me sad.

So, my ultimate question is this:

For those who did the CP in the Fall and lived in the residence halls, what did you do for the Spring?

 

[DisneyLover0526]

I have a question. Does anyone know the rent prices for the apartments. My potential roomie and I are wondering what the breakdown prices are for Patterson Court. Can somebody please help?!

 

[Joanna71985]

In Fall 2008 it was $81 for the 3BR, and $91 for the 2BR (and 1BR?). It went up in Jan though.

The 4BR is the cheapest...?

 

[Joanna71985]

The 4BR is the cheapest...?

Yes. The larger the apartment, the cheaper the rent. However, I don't believe Patterson has 4BR apartments.

 

[DisneyLover0526]

Yes. The larger the apartment, the cheaper the rent. However, I don't believe Patterson has 4BR apartments.

Ok. Thank you so much! One more question. Do you know the breakdown for Chatham Square?

 

[Berlioz70]

I'm not positive... but I believe the cost is the same for a 4 bd and a 3 bd. I was going to get a 4 bd but when I discovered the 3 costs the same I went for 3 (more room in the fridge)!

As of fall 2008 Chatham was a $1 cheaper - $80/$90. Hopefully someone currently on the program will chime in because I'm pretty sure the prices jumped in Jan.

Thank you! That's what I have been hearing. But, the sources I have been seeing are outdated.

DisneyBabe,

Did you attend the presentation at UB? That's where Patrick and I went for it! And I interviewed on the same day as you! Best of luck!
