The Lynah ticket line sleepover gives way to sleeping overnight outside a landlord's door to be first to sign for fall 2013 housing in Collegetown.
As Collegetown Housing Rush Intensifies, Students Sleep Outside Rental Agency (http://cornellsun.com/section/news/content/2012/10/02/collegetown-housing-rush-intensifies-students-sleep-outside-rental-a)
Quote from: Liz Camuti and Manu Rathore, Cornell Daily SunIn what some landlords are calling the fastest renting season in recent memory, students are rushing to claim housing in Collegetown, even sleeping outside rental agencies to be the first to secure the area's most lucrative real estate. Around 15 students camped outside the Ithaca Renting Company office on Dryden Road Thursday night to sign leases for a range of living arrangements, including two "coveted" four-bedroom apartments and a 14-person house snatched by the baseball team, according to Christina Kim '15 and Nicholas Busto '15.
Joe, post that picture you took last week.

QuoteSome students who spend the night, however, expressed frustration with Eiding's group's early start. It was "almost ridiculous" of them to start so early, Arnav Sahu '15 said."We had a plan of probably going there at around midnight or 1 a.m., just like any sane and average person do," Sahu said. "But then I went there and found out that there were people waiting there since 5 p.m."
Ahem. "sane and average" people do not wait in line for housing starting at midnight or 1am. Or 5pm. Or at all on any day. I guess this is why we're knocking down historic houses for sardine can apartment buildings in Collegetown.

I just assumed Sahu was being somewhat sarcastic with that quote.
Also, it rained that night.
