Housing Rant

So I'm looking into where to live for next year and I've run into a slight problem. Just about everywhere wants me to sign a 12 month contract. I don't want to sign a 12 month contract. I did that last time and now I have to deal with trying to sell it along with 40 other girls in my complex.

See, we have to live in BYU contracted housing because they don't have enough housing for everyone (FYI, I think next year they will have equal amounts of married/freshman housing). That's all cool, it means that we have a lot of choices. But it also means that there is a huge conflict of interests over spring/summer housing. See, most people leave Provo from April to August, which means that all that housing is left empty. So they try to control us by only allowing us to live places with 12 month contracts so they don't end up with empty rooms and lose money. It's silly and it's the reason I can't move in with my old roommate.

The other thing is that it means that the housing complexes start filling up in February. A whole 6 months before school starts in the fall. Again, it's silly.

But I'm thinking about trying to find a room in a house. These ones are pretty nice
