Frequently Asked Questions

Living on Campus 2009

You've got questions and we've got answers, here are some answers to common questions folks have asked:

Where can I live in the fall?

If you are a returning student, you can only live in the New Residence Hall, Weber Hall and a portion of Browne Hall. While this may seem limiting, we are going to have 580 rooms available for room draw for upper-class students.

First year students will be living in Thorp, Sweet, Willard and a portion of Browne Hall.

Can I stay (or squat) in my current room?

No. This year every room is open through the room draw process. Even if you currently live in Browne or Weber Hall you will need to choose an assignment for Fall 2009.

How can I choose my room for fall 2009?

We are currently in the process of setting up an online room draw, so if you deposit on time (between February 16th and March 6th ) and you are fortunate enough to be selected for room draw, you will be able to do so online (this depends on "lottery number" during April 20-23, 2009). We hope to have this available on our website in the future (www.ric.edu/housing).
