Housing lottery roundup: seniors

April 18, 2005

With housing selections for the rising senior class complete, only a few singles in the most desirable dorms remain: one in Wharton, seven in Mertz, and a couple on Parrish 4th West.

The demand for New Dorm (a.k.a. Alice Paul) loft doubles declined after their first year of occupancy. One of the doubles remains available heading into the rising junior lottery. This year all of the loft doubles are occupied by seniors.

A number of doubles remain available in Mertz, New Dorm, and Wharton. A couple of quads are available in Wharton as well.

While the selected rooms were reasonably widely dispersed around campus, rooms were not selected in Strath Haven, Willets, and Roberts. A lot of spaces remain in PPR as a whole.

Results are posted in the Parrish entryway.

Thanks to Myrt Westphal, Associate Dean for Student Life, for providing the information in this roundup.
