Everyone wins the lottery
As a freshman entering the housing lottery for the first time, I have only heard the most daunting of rumors. It’s been said that “it’s one of the most stressful times of the year,” and that “you’ll be lucky if you don’t lose a friend in the process”. All of this negative hype forces you […]
