A more thorough explanation:

HONESTE VIVERE

honeste vivere is a Latin term used in Roman law that means "to live honorably." It is one of the three general precepts in which Justinian expressed the requirements of the law.

Living honorably means being truthful, fair, and just in all aspects of life. For example, paying your bills on time, being honest in your relationships, and treating others with respect are all ways to live honorably.

In the context of Roman law, honeste vivere was one of the guiding principles that judges used to make decisions. If someone was accused of a crime, the judge would consider whether or not the accused had lived honorably before making a ruling.

For instance, if someone was accused of stealing, the judge would consider whether or not the accused had a history of living honorably. If the accused had a reputation for being dishonest, the judge would be more likely to find them guilty. On the other hand, if the accused had a reputation for being honest and fair, the judge would be more likely to find them innocent.

Overall, honeste vivere is an important principle that emphasizes the importance of living a virtuous life.

Did you get any materials for admitted students day explaining that they would be booking hotel rooms?
16:49
there was an opt in on the form but I didn't select yes
16:49
Hmm, that's weird
16:50
i think it's unprofessional of them to call you like what if you had an emergency and had to leave? why is it their business why you didn't stay? not like they're lacking money and $100.00 hotel room is gona make them bankrupt
16:50
i figured it was an error and I was on the road so I didn't read into it. plus it would make more sense for it to be the night before cuz it started at 9am? so I was like uhhh and paid it no mind
16:51
@bigfatsloth: that's what i'm saying, they were gonna pay no matter what
16:54
"This is like peak disconenct between the male and female brain." like bffr
16:55
It was probably an administrative error then. I can't imagine why they would book hotel rooms for people that didn't select yes. I would maybe follow up with them and apologize for the misunderstanding to avoid any awkwardness
