Returning students select their rooms in April for the upcoming academic year. Priority for first-year applicants is established by the date that the advance deposit is received by the Office of Admission.

At Willamette University students from all four classes live in each residence hall. We match roommates by interests not class standing or age so it is not uncommon for a first year student to have an upper class roommate. This offers a true "neighborhood" setting where mentoring is encouraged.

Once an assignment has been made, it is considered permanent. However, should a problem arise, staff-approved changes may be considered. A waiting period of two weeks after the semester begins allows for the office to confirm any no-shows and for you to evaluate your living situation and consider more than just first impressions.
