Hi there, readers. We've been away for far too long, but fear not, the annual Housing lottery is fast approaching, and that means the return of The Shaft is nigh. For the uninitiated (read: first-years), The Shaft is what we at Spectator title our annual coverage of everything Housing, from registration to lottery numbers to liveblogging Suite Selection in John Jay lounge. We'll get going in full next week, but if you can't wait or are desperately curious, explore last year's archives here. For now, just a sneak preview for something that couldn't wait: East Campus Exclusion Suites—they're gone!
