FAQs

Why do I need to go through Room Selection if I know I am going to be at Southampton? 

You must go through Room Selection at West Campus even if you plan to fully enroll at Southampton. This is to protect you in case your academic plans change after Room Selection ends. This will ensure that you have an assignment where you are comfortable at West Campus and not stuck going on waitlists without fall housing (which are quite long for Fall semesters). 

When will Southampton Student Life assign me a room space? 

Following Room Selection, Student Life administratively re-assigns all Southampton students who participate in Phase 2 after confirming enrollment at Southampton sometime early to middle of May or early June. Student Life contacts students to ensure plans have not changed due to availability of courses at Southampton.
