Room Selection
Registration
The best strategy is to sign up for Group Suite Selection in a group of friends. Your group will get two shots at room selection. First, you can pick a double or suite in Group Suite Selection. Or, second, you can drop out of Group Suite Selection and pick a single in General Selection. This is absolutely the best strategy for rising sophomores.
- For a double or a suite, sign up for Group Suite Selection with your friends. Group sizes can range from 2 to 8. You'll only be able to pick a suite that exactly matches your group size. E.g., 2 people can only pick a double, or 5 people can only pick a 5-person suite.
- For a single in a corridor-style residence hall, sign up for General Selection as an individual.
- For a single in a corridor-style residence hall near your friends, sign up for General Selection as a group with your friends. Group sizes can range from 2 to 10.

Rules
- Men and women may form groups together for Group Suite Selection and General Selection. However, doubles can only be assigned to students of the same gender.
Group Suite Selection
- Group Suite Selection will take place from April 9 to April 13 in John Jay Lounge.
- All group members or their proxies will need to come together with their CUIDs. The group can come at their appointment time or any time afterwards.
- If a group does not want to pick a double or suite, or it is unable to, the group will automatically drop to General Selection. This applies even if only one member doesn't go along with the group. Group members will keep the same lottery number, and receive a new appointment time accordingly.

General Selection
- General Selection takes place online in April.
- You can log in and select a room any time from your assigned appointment time until the end of General Selection. It is obviously better to select a room as soon as possible after your assigned appointment time.
- The available rooms include all single rooms, and any doubles and suites remaining from Group Suite Selection.
