If you plan to live in a double room, assume that you will have a roommate throughout the academic year. This is true even if your roommate takes a leave of absence, participates in an off-campus study program, or withdraws. Should you end up in a double room alone, you are encouraged to find a roommate of your own choice. You cannot sign up for a double room for all three terms unless you have a roommate for all three terms. Double rooms are selected by the lowest lottery number of the roommate pair.
If you do not have a roommate for the coming year, you may attend the "Meet Your Future Roommate" activity. You may also contact the Housing Office for a listing of others who are looking for roommates.
Take time to meet with your prospective roommate(s) before making a final decision. Even if you are planning to room with a close friend, it is worth your time to discuss lifestyle preferences and concerns. If you need assistance with the process of selecting a roommate, please contact your Residence Hall Director.
There is a double room wait list for pairs of students who did not get a double in the hall of their choice. Seniority on the double room wait list is determined by the lowest lottery number of the roommate pair until the end of the academic year. After that date, seniority is still by class, but new names are added to the bottom of each class year's list in order by date. Individuals who do not have lottery numbers will also be added to the bottom of each class year list in order of sign up with the Housing Office.
