Then the school passed a rule freshmen had to live on campus and women couldn't move into the houses until they were sophomores. The older girls had to keep the house full (total went up). Still there would be freshmen that would sleep on the floor rather than go back to the dorms if they were up at the house studying late or if they had a particularly problem dorm situation. There would usually be a couple of girls that would pay to break housing contracts to move in if someone graduated or moved out at the winter break. Now the school has gone to deferred rush, but I expect as many as possible move in as sophomores.
Cal has gone to deferred rush? When did that happen? Or do you mean they start the week or two after school starts?
