This year’s housing lottery is steadily
approaching. The basic format will be
similar to that in years past with a few minor

No additional changes have been made to the

Students with the highest class standing and
GPA will receive the lowest numbers.
It’s also possible for someone with a lower
class standing and GPA to find themselves in an
earlier session. If an individual intends to room
with someone who has a lower number than
they do, they may attend the earlier session to
choose a living space.

Housing lottery, April 10:
• 30 to 45 minute sessions holding up
to 100 students each
• Every full time student assigned a

the power to choose if nothing else, the place
they rests there heads—after learning how much
they’ve spent for it.
