
Decide where you want to live
Plan ahead for at least a 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice!
For example:
1
 1st choice: North Avenue Apt Single
 If they are all taken... Do I try for a North Ave Suite Double or a
Walnut Ridge Single?
 2nd choice: Walnut Ridge Single
 What if they are all taken as well?
 3rd choice: Walnut Ridge Double
Choose your roommates, suite/apartment-mates!
 Review the Roommate Selection Guide
 Set up your “Roommate Group” (if you have one) prior to the
2
earliest lottery in which your group can participate.
 Make sure everyone in your group has mutually requested
each other so that you have a “fully matched” group.
 Make sure you all agree on a plan! Which building, who goes
in which room type within the suite, etc.
 Remember, anyone you confirm as a mutual roommate
can pull you in to a room!
When you choose to select a new room, suite or apartment
for the upcoming academic year during one of the New
Room Selections. . .
Be aware of your roommate requests.
You plus your roommates cannot be greater than the total
available spaces in the room, suite or apartment that you
would like to select.
Examples:
You will not be shown any Rait double rooms if you have
more than one roommate request.
You will not be shown any North Ave suites or aparments if
you have more than six roommate requests.
If, after the previous lotteries, there are four (or less) beds left
in any Orchard Ave suite you won’t be able to see any
spaces in Orchard Ave if you plus your roommates is
greater than four.
