The Shaft has been dormant for a while, and that's because there really hasn't been much for us to do since General Selection, because of individual preferences, tends to be much less predictable than Suite Selection. And with this neat website, Housing has the room counts covered pretty darn well.
Now though, with General Selection approximately halfway through (we'll get started with 20/1259 tomorrow), it's time to update the state of housing.
Watt studio singles were snagged later than usual---of the 14 who could have picked into those spacey studios, only six did. Still though, Watt is long gone as are singles in Broadway and Nussbaum. Probably the biggest surprise this year has been that juniors seem to be overwhelmingly preferring Broadway over River. While there are still a few River's remaining, Broadway has been gone for a while.
What's left now?
River: 5/118 singles remaining
Schapiro: 102/215 singles, 31 doubles remaining
Harmony: 44/69 singles, 1 double remaining
Wien: 218/260 singles, 4 doubles remaining
McBain: 15/18 singles, 29 doubles remaining
Broadway: 1 double remaining
What's going to happen tomorrow?
Again, because different people have different preferences in their housing, it's tough to say. Tomorrow, 161 people will select housing (up to 20/1924), which should wipe out the remaining singles in River and most quality singles in Schapiro.
