The best thing to do, and this advice comes from my dearest Aunti who has been in school\/doing exchanges forever, would be:<br \/>\nMake yourself seem like the biggest loner in the whole entire world. You do yoga at 4am. You are extremely tidy and spend all of your spare time cleaning. Find a way to subtly put in that you snore at incredible volumes and have had a pillow smothered in your face at camp before because it had been such a problem.<br \/>\nthough to me, you were on the right track by making yourself seem like super librarian. Good work. I&#8217;m proud. Just take it to the next level and be hella intolerable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are my best chances at getting a single room for residence at Vic (Upper\/Lower Burwash is ideal)?
