The 2024-25 housing selection process began on Jan. 28 with the residential college six and five-person suite applications. The ongoing process includes the opening of Residential College C along with the continued use of a “seniority-driven, random selection” assignment lottery, according to the 2024-25 Housing Guide.
Residential college dorms, which are currently dominated by seniors and juniors, are expected to increase in availability with the opening of Residential College C. In an email to Residential Experience student employees, Housing and Residential Experience also announced changes to residential experience staff policies that will no longer reserve single rooms with private bathrooms or residential college suites for RAs beginning in fall 2024 and fall 2025, respectively.
Opening Residential College C
The opening of Residential College C will expand the housing inventory by 305 beds. This building will include 159 single rooms, 39 double rooms and 17 four-person suites. As a result, the total number of single rooms will go up from 729 to 888, double rooms from 199 to 238 and four-person suites from 88 to 105.
RCC will also house the majority of new RA positions, with 10 being added to RCC, four to Branscomb Quad and one to Chaffin Place.
