"My best friend is a sophmore and she really wanted to live on campus for one more year. She chose on campus housing because it's central, it's easier to be involved on campus and you save the environment by saving yourself from the commute. From word of mouth I've heard that it's also easier to make friends and meet new people if you continue to live on campus."

FAQ
Will residents participating in Room Race have to run in a physical race?
No, Room Race is the online sign-up process for the residence halls. No running required.
Why am I not guaranteed a single room?
Availability is determined by occupancy projections for the next year. In low occupancy years, more singles are available. In high-occupancy years, fewer singles are offered so that University Housing can accomodate as many students as possible.
Why aren't all of the halls a part of Room Race?
In low occupancy years, more halls are available in Room Race and in higher occupancy years, fewer halls are available in Room Race.
Why do residents returning to the halls for a third year (Marathon Racers) get to reserve their rooms earlier than residents returning for their second year (10K racers)?
Priority is given to those students who live in the halls the longest. That way, the longer you stay, the more likely you are likely to get exactly the room you want.
Will I be able to review my potential roommate's profile?
Yes, if your potential roommate made the information public. No, if your potential roommate chose to keep the information private.
When will I be able to log in to fill out my Room Race application and roommate matching questionaire?
On or after April 15.
