Please use this Ranking Form to help organize your preference on your selection day!

We have done some of the math for you to help you determine what types of housing might be available when it is your turn to select.  Since groups are able to split and merge, it is difficult to predict with complete accuracy, so please consider the following to be guesstimates.

 Rising seniors

• At this point, there are enough two, three, and six person houses for those size groups. 
• There are enough five person units (houses and apartments) for the five person groups.
• If you are a four person group with a rank after 173, you will probably need to re-configure to a different size group to select senior-appropriate housing.  Please consider attending the Mix, Mingle and Merge on Thursday, April 12 from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the Daniel Family Commons.

 Rising juniors

• If you are a four person group with a rank after 250, you will probably need to reconfigure to a different size. 
• There may be extra five person apartments for junior groups to select (i.e. 1 Vine and 65 Pearl).  If your group is interested in reconfiguring to select these apartments, we encourage you to attend the Mix, Mingle and Merge on Thursday, April 12, from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the Daniel Family Commons.
• We anticipate there will be enough apartments for the groups of rising juniors.

 Rising sophomores

• We anticipate we will have enough beds for all students registered for room selection this year!
• We will provide more specific information regarding how many single and double rooms are left in each of the buildings as it gets closer to your selection nights. 
• Half the class will live in Butterfield (please see the exciting plans for the summer renovations that will transform the common spaces in Butterfield, available at http://www.wesleyan.edu/masterplan/butterfield_detail.html).
• A small percentage of sophomores will live in Nicolson and Hewitt, based on what is available after the juniors select.

We just found out that a duplex that is currently being rented by faculty will be vacated this summer, and Physical Plant has offered it for undergraduate use next year.  We will have photos and floor plans available at room selection tonight.  264 A Court Street is four single bedrooms.  264 B Court Street, the upstairs unit, is two bedrooms, one of which is a single, the other a double.  All bedrooms, including the double, will be furnished with full size beds.  We are not able to load it into the bookmarks at this point of room selection, but you will be able to select it manually tonight.

These units will replace 167 Vine and 171 Vine, which will be removed from the room selection process.
