Room and Board Information

Room Assignment Information For New Students

At Russell Sage, life in the residence halls is enriching. You'll make new friends, share ideas, and have the opportunity to participate in programs such as cultural dinners, aromatherapy, community service projects and Halloween parties for area youth. You and your future roommate will be matched according to answers you provide on the housing preference form. You will receive the name and address of your roommate in late summer so that you may contact her if you wish. Roommate requests can often be met if all students involved are in agreement.

Most new students live in double rooms, but singles and triples are available. For more information on this or for special circumstance requests please contact the Office of Residence Life.

Room Selection For Returning Students

Room Selection is held at the end of March and beginning of April. Prior to this process there will be an announcement on Campus Cruiser directing you to the web page for detailed information explaining the lottery process. This information will explain how room selection works, how to be eligible to select a room, how to go about finding a roommate and a listing of important dates and times.

All students wishing to participate in Room Selection must first pay their housing deposit with Students Services. The College has made every attempt to make Room Selection as simple and stress free as possible. The current Room Selection system was designed after careful consultation and input from student groups. The system was established to provide all students equal opportunity based on class year.
