First-Year Room Selection
The room selection process for first-year students takes place between Thursday, June 13 - Thursday, June 27 (see table below).
Roommate Information
Once you complete your housing application, you can search for a roommate through our online room selection link on MyHousing. You can search for roommates by name, network ID, lifestyle characteristics or through suggestions based on your lifestyle characteristics. Create a group and then invite your roommate to your group. They will have the choice to accept or deny the invitation. Only the group leader is able to go online to choose the room. Once your group is complete, you can submit your group for the room selection process.
It is not necessary to have a roommate to choose a room online.
How To Choose A Room
You will receive a randomly generated timeslot that identifies the day/time you will choose your room online. If you formed a group with a roommate, you will use the group leader's timeslot to select a room for both of you. You can change the group lease on MyHousing under Room Selection, if you wish to use the other group member's timeslot. Roommate groups must be submitted 48 hours before your room selection timeslot (see table below)
| Room Selection Timeslot | Roommate Group Submission Deadline |
|---|---|
| Thursday, June 13 at 7 p.m. EST | Tuesday, June 11 at 7 p.m. EST |
| Tuesday, June 18 at 7 p.m. EST | Sunday, June 16 at 7 p.m. EST |
| Thursday, June 20 at 7 p.m. EST | Tuesday, June 18 at 7 p.m. EST |
| Tuesday, June 25 at 7 p.m. EST | Sunday, June 23 at 7 p.m. EST |
| Thursday, June 27 at 7 p.m. EST | Tuesday, June 25 at 7 p.m. EST |
You are not required to choose a room online. If you do not select a room online, we will assign you to a room based upon your lifestyle characteristics and room preference after July 1.

Available Rooms
Rooms from each Residential Community will be available during room selection timeslot. The majority of our rooms are double rooms. We have a very limited number of single rooms which will be available to choose during each room selection timeslot. We do hold a number of single rooms for students with approved medical accommodations.
