How do returning students choose rooms for the following year?
Each spring semester returning students have the opportunity to choose rooms to live in for the following school year. The Residence Life staff conducts a series of meetings and events that explain the entire process of room selection, offer an opportunity to see various rooms, and allow students to choose a room based upon several factors such as their class year, and their “housing lottery draw number.” The process of room selection changes somewhat each year. Announcements are sent via RISD email to all students and detailed instructions are available to students and parents prior to the start of the process each year.
