What is “squatting”?
Squatting is staying in a room. Consider the following scenario: Jenny has 2 points and has been living in her room for one semester. Janey has 9 points and has been living in her room for 4 semesters. Janey needs a change of pace and really, really likes Jenny’s room. At room bids, Janey states that she wants to bid into Jenny’s room. UH OH! What will Jenny do? Janey has more seniority! Never fear, Jenny. You can squat in your room and no one can take it until you are ready to move out. (Or if you screw up and get kicked out… but that’s not really likely, is it?) Squatting right may not apply for temporary rooms, summer assignments, or rooms reserved for disabilities.
