On the Housing Eligibility Exam Prank

On Friday, October 13, 2023, all freshmen received an email from “ughousing@caltech.edu” with the subject “ACTION REQUIRED: UG Housing Eligibility Assessment for 2024-25 School Year.” This email led students to believe that there would be a merit-based assessment to decide what proportion of the freshmen class would live on campus and what proportion would need to search for off-campus options next year.
