I learned this week that I was 2nd on the Housing list. That may be lowered if someone with a more urgent need for housing comes in, but it's still way better than being lower on the list.
This doesn't mean I won't possibly have a long wait ahead of me; one of my friends was #1 on the list for a year and a half. I likely still have a decent amount of time to pack. Still, on the off chance that something becomes available in the near future, I have to get ready.
