A brief description of the room lottery process follows the information on the four options. Traditional residence halls offer the most common type of housing at Beloit College. The majority of first-year and sophomore students live in this type of residence hall. Some of our special-interest houses relate to language programs, others to campus clubs. Greek housing is open to individuals who have successfully met the requirements for joining a Greek organization.
Students draw a number from a pool of numbers assigned to their class.
When that number is called, they select a room from the pool of open rooms. Seniors have first choice, juniors second, and sophomores third. First-year students are placed in the rooms available after the lottery. Students who have completed their first semester may wish to live in special interest or Greek housing. They must apply with each special interest house or Greek organization to live in the house.
