What is room selection?
- Room selection is a process that allows current students to choose their residence hall rooms. The intent is to make rooms available to students in the fairest manner possible.
What if I have trouble logging into MyHousing?
- Help is available from RLH via phone at 508.531.1277 or email at reslife@bridgew.edu. You can also visit our office in DiNardo Hall during normal business hours (Monday-Friday, 9 am-5 pm).
Who is eligible to participate in room selection?
- Current students who have paid a $250 housing deposit and completed the required housing license agreement by the stated deadline.
How are room selection times assigned?
- All eligible students are randomly assigned a selection time by class year. Students with senior credits will be selected first, followed by students with junior credits, etc.
- New Bear room selection time slots are randomly generated for all New Bears who completed their license agreement and paid their Housing Deposit by the priority deadline.
When my selection time is activated, how long will I have to select?
I paid a deposit but I will not be retuning to housing for next year. Can I give my selection time to a friend?
- No, selection times are not transferable.
Can I get a single?
- There will be a limited number of single rooms available through the room selection process. If there are none open at your selection time you can fill out a room change request form after you have chosen your room.
What if I am not available to select at my selection time?
- You may select at any time after your selection time until the posted date that the selection ends. After that time, please contact the Office of Residence Life & Housing for assistance.
May I pull in friends to fill an entire suite/apartment in Crimson, DiNardo, Miles, Stonehouse, Student Apartments, or Weygand?
I'm a returning senior. Do I get any special consideration?
- No, returning seniors still select as a senior.
If I pay my room deposit early, will I get a better selection time?
Can I change my room assignment once it has been made?
- You may submit an online room change request form during the room change period. Every effort is made to accommodate requests, but there is no guarantee that your request will be honored.
What is the Residence Hall License Agreement?
- The Residence Hall License Agreement is the second step for student to complete, after submitting a housing deposit. The Residence Hall License Agreement is found in each student's MyHousing account. Students should read the entire license agreement because it contains policies and expectations for resident students, by signing the license agreement you are agreeing to the terms and conditions outlined. In the license agreement, a student will also select their meal plan. More information about meal plans can be found on the Parking and Connect Card site.
Can I request a specific roommate?
- Yes, you may request a specific roommate. Requests may be submitted by forming a roommate group together and all requests must be mutual (All parties involved must make the request). This process must occur before you select your space.
What is a "permanent" or "design" room?
- A "permanent" or "design" room is a room that is always intended to house a designated number of students. For example, a permanent triple room is always intended to house three students and has furniture for all three students. In some buildings, larger built-in closets are shared by the residents.
After I select my assignment, can I come and see the room?
- Unfortunately, this cannot be arranged. Our office does our best to post pictures of spaces on our website. Feel free to reach out to our office with any specific questions you may have.
How do I change my meal plan?
- You will select your meal plan each semester and have the first five days from the official first day of classes of each semester to change your meal plan selection if you choose to do so. Only one change allowed per semester. You can do so in MyHousing or by contacting the Parking and Connect Card Office.
