  • Rooms Available for Men

    Because we believe it is important to keep an appropriate gender balance in all of our communities, we do find it necessary to specifically designate male and female spaces in each community. As space allows on each floor, there will be some double rooms designated for male, some for female, and some that can be drawn in any designation. Single rooms will continue to be designated by gender so that an equal number of single rooms are available to both women and men. Specific lists of rooms available for male, female, or co-ed housing will be updated on this website beginning on May 3 and will be updated daily. It is possible that, in order to keep a gender balance in a particular community or to allow for all students to attempt to draw a room during room draw, some rooms may be switched from one gender to the other at the start of the night. Please note that rooms with an "*" are drawn separately. These rooms share a bathroom.
