Room Selection FAQs:
Is there a space for five students to live together on-campus?
No, there are only space up to four students to live together, these are in a four-person quad in the Murphy’s or a 4-person suite in Chardin Hall. .
What if I don’t get what I want? Is there a waitlist option?
It’s important to have two to three back-up options in mind before you go into your selection time in case your top choices are not available during your selection time. Waitlist Requests are not guaranteed. There is a waitlist option at the end of the application that will open on April 22nd following the Rising Sophomore selection times where. Waitlist requests will be reviewed after the formal housing selection process is completed and offers are made as spaces become available due to cancellations and consolidations. Offers will be on going until the waitlist is exhausted or the start of the academic term, whichever is sooner. Waitlist priority is based on original selection time and priority for housing.
What if I need a medical accommodation and want to live with my friends?
Medical accommodations can be made for you and you only. We cannot accommodate roommate requests that are in conjunction with a medical request. If you wish to pursue housing with specific roommates and you have a medical request, you will need to go through the housing selection process with your roommates.
