Lottery
Students interested in living in Western View must request a lottery number. The fall lottery opens early December and closes a few days before apartment selection begins, usually in early February. Roommate Groups begin in January. Create a group to claim a unit with friends.
- Lottery numbers are determined at random.
- There is no priority based on when a student enters the lottery.
- Requesting a lottery number does not commit you to choosing a unit.
- There is no guarantee you will get a unit with a lottery number. Roommate Groups begin in January. Create a group to claim a unit with friends.
There is no lottery for spring vacancies. Watch the housing portal and Housing and Residence Life’s social media channels for announcements about space and sign up.
