Room selection is held each spring for returning resident students to select their room for the following year. Currently, only freshman residents as defined by the Admissions Office may participate in room selection.

There are a series of deposits that will be required prior to room selection. A lottery is run to determine participants and selection order. During room selection, students may select to live in a group setting, such as suites or apartments. A detailed packet of room selection information will be distributed either electronically or by mail to all eligible participants. Information is typically available shortly after the start of the spring semester and is also available at www.suffolk.edu/reslife. In order to retain a fall housing reservation, students must have their accounts with the University in good order by the fall payment date (August 1).
