College Program Questions Thread, Pt 3

quick question from bantha09 yet again:
If i opt into roommate matching, how soon will it tell me who I have been matched up with?

 

[_givealittlewhistle_]

Good question. I accepted my invitation on 10/23/10, picking an arrival date of 1/26/11. When I logged into roommate matching, the web page indicated that my arrival date was not currently eligible for matching, and that if it changed, I would receive an email. ???

It depends how fast they match you with the avilability in the system. They match you up according to the order you sign up. If you're a 21 year old female, another 21+ females needs to opt into the matching system before you know who you're rooming with. I know someone who waited until right before the program to opt into roommate matching and since it was so late, he never got matched up until he was in line at check-in.

The roommate matching opens when your date gets closer. I'm part of Fall and our roommate matching didn't open until late June though FA could opt in as soon as they were accepted into the program.

The roommate matching opened up today. I received an email, opted in, and found out who my roommate was within an hour or so. You'll get an email prompting you that your date is open : )

What type of questions did the roommate matching ask? Can you match up with who appeals to you or do they match you with someone on certain criteria hits?

The don't ask any questions. It seems to be based only on arrival date, gender, and if you're over or under 21.

How long do the campus presentations usually last? My school's is tomorrow, and even though I'm not applying, I REALLY want to go. But I've got a ton of other stuff going on tomorrow, so I'm hoping I have time to fit it in.

I'd devote 1.5-2 hours to be there

The presentation at my school took about an hour for the actual presentation and then the recruiter stayed to answer any questions that people may have had.

A quick question: what are some start/end dates for a Spring 2011 CP?

Thanks for the speedy replies! I think I'll be able to go, as long as it's not longer than two hours.

i have the same question. I just got accepted last week into the Spring Advantage CP and i want to accept it this week but i kind of wanted a heads up to the departure dates available in August. I'm an RA at my university and i have training starting the second week in August so i wanted to see how the CP would conflict.

im Jan 19 to Aug 5 but all the dates after me end aug 12 i think that is the latest you can go

 

[aznshents]

I just accepted today and I was only given Feb arrival dates. I guess it's because there wasn't enough room for Jan arrival dates anymore. I'm going Feb 7 (gah, a whole month late!) and leaving Aug 12.

My son has tried repeatedly to get through for his phone interview and cannot get through. He only has about 20 hours left. Any suggestions.

Is he trying to schedule an interview? If so, he doesn't have to call during the 3 day period they say to call. They only say that because they don't want you to forget to call.

 

[lovewdwdvc]

yes, he is trying to schedule the interview.

During the check-in process, she will be given information on registering for classes along with the schedule. When registered for a class, she will not be scheduled to work during that block of time (but may be before or after). I believe most of the classes are held at the housing complexes (there are classrooms in various areas). She can dress either in her own "Disney Look" clothing (professional dress) or she can wear her costume to class. We had about 50/50 in my class; some wore them for ease while others had to catch the bus right after to get to work. There are also "labor exception" periods (Spring Break, for instance) where class will not be scheduled and she will be working instead. In my class, students were allowed to miss 2 sessions without being withdrawn, so attendance is important (as it is at work!)
