Returning Student Housing
For the 2027-28 year, an early room selection period will be held for students who have completed their two-year housing requirement. More information here.
Room Selection for rising sophomores will take place in March. Students should always monitor their Syracuse University email account to ensure they do not miss important information regarding Room Selection or other housing-related matters.
Second-year Students
