Grant’s direct answer
No. Grant treats roughly Day 70 as an application-readiness target, not a rigid rule that prevents earlier touring. If the graduate will be busy, out of town, studying for exams, or otherwise unavailable near that window, tour earlier. An early visit can identify the favorite one or two buildings even before the exact future units appear. Then HomeBase can monitor upcoming availability and the renter can act when the right opening is released. The mistake is delaying useful work merely because an idealized calendar date has not arrived.
