One question you will be asked on your housing contract is your residence hall preference. Read through the descriptions in the above links to determine which building you would most prefer to live in.

Be aware that upper class students get their first choice of rooms and few, if any, first year students get to live in Bailey Mountain, Dixon-Palmer, Turner, or Brown. Rooms for new students are awarded on a first come-first serve basis so the students who return their housing contract (with deposit) first will be given priority.

Most first year women live in Stroup and Edna Moore and most first year men live in Myers and Huffman. These four buildings do not have single rooms but if space is available students who request it will be allowed, at an additional cost, to have the double room as a “private” without a roommate.
