Event Details

Curious about what other residence halls have to offer? Here’s your chance to get a better sense of what different halls and their communities are like, helping you make an informed choice when creating your list of preferred spaces for room selection! Please note that first-year residence halls (current and future) will not be part of the open house. While not every second-year hall will be included, all room types will be represented.

Date: Sunday, March 1
Time: 4-6 p.m.

In the event of inclement weather, this event will be canceled.

To be eligible for the priority room selection drawing, you’ll need to visit at least one hall in each of the following groups:

  • Group 1: Suite or Apartment Styles*
  • Group 2: Classic Style
  • Group 3: Contemporary Style

Be sure to swipe your student ID at each hall visit to confirm your attendance. After visiting three halls, you’ll be entered into a drawing for a chance to win priority selection during room selection.
