In Substance Free Housing, the living environment is free of all alcohol and tobacco products. There is no point system in this mini-lottery, the selection is based upon lottery numbers. One student I talked to, a sophomore, was interested in getting a room in the 24 Hour Quiet area, located in North College. She went on to talk about that she felt lucky to get a low lottery number because many students were interested in having a room in the 24 Hour Quiet area, but there is limited space available, and some friends she had got their applications turned down. Perhaps this is why the administration has really begun to enforce the policy of no drinking in the residence halls, where as in the beginning of the year it was a common sight to see students carrying beer through the halls without having a word said to them about it.
Students are going to do what they want, now they just have to hide it more.
Block Housing is another option which has its own Lottery. This is the choice of housing for groups of students who want to live in rooms that are next to each other. Groups who want to have a Block must complete a roster and submit it to Residence Life. This Lottery also has a point system like the lottery for Wade Lupe. Sophomores get 4 points, Freshmen get 3 points, and Juniors get 1 point.
