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 a variety of social and educational programs. 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. 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 MySage directing you to the web page for detailed information explaining the room selection lottery process. This information will explain how room selection works, eligibility factorsto select a room, and a listing of important dates and times.

All students wishing to participate in Room Selection must first make sure their college account is up to date. 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.
