Returning Student Room Selection Events
Returning Student Room Selection Events
Get ready to plan your on-campus living for next year! Returning students have a variety of opportunities to prepare for room selection, connect with potential roommates, and learn more about the housing options available.
Housing & Residence Life is here to support you every step of the way. From interactive events and workshops to informal sessions for questions and feedback, there are plenty of ways to get involved, explore your preferences, and feel confident about your upcoming housing decisions.
Take advantage of these resources to make the most of your campus living experience and ensure your next year is comfortable, fun, and tailored to your needs.
Offered Events
Join us for an Information Session to learn how room selection works, get your questions answered by Housing staff, and enter for a chance to win priority room selection just for attending. This is a great opportunity to explore your housing options and get helpful tips to make the room selection process easier.
If you are unable to come to an in person information session, you can complete the online Returning Room Selection training at the link below to learn more about room selection and also for a chance to win priority room selection.
Curious about what other residence halls have to offer? Here’s your chance to win priority room selection and attend an open house showcasing available second-year residence halls! To review details about the event, including which halls are available to view, visit our Open House website.
In the event of inclement weather, this event will be canceled.
