A NOTE FROM BECKY GREGORY 5/25/07: We cannot accept anymore reservation for the OSU Dorms thru our registration website. They are almost full. If you want to register and reserve a dorm room, please download a registration form and fax it to my office. I will make the reservations and let you know your status as soon as I can.

We should be able to accommodate anyone who has registered and requested a dorm room as of May 25.
