- Make a “roommate group” with your roommate on the housing portal. This will allow you to select a space for you and your roommate during the lottery (not applicable for single rooms). Both roommates must each complete a separate application first.
- Log-on to the housing portal at your assigned time and select an available room for you and your roommate. The lottery time slots will take place on these days:
- Single Room Online Lottery: Thursday, April 17
- Double Room Online Lottery: Thursday, April 24
Please note: Lottery time slots will be assigned based on a combination of randomization and class status as determined by number of semesters at Whitman. However, certain spaces, including the entirety of Stanton Hall, will be reserved for Sophomores since they are required to live on campus.
