Well, single room pix went pretty smoothly last night. A few students encountered technical problems, but the vast majority were able to navigate the process successfully. We are working closely with those who experienced challenges.

Students who did not select a room have the following options:

1) Pair up and enter the apartment lottery. To do this, you and your roommate should email us. We will place you in the lottery together. You may also join an existing block, if it has less than 12 people in it. If you do not have a roommate, visit the roommate finder - we recommend you post your information, in addition to reviewing the information of others.

If you enter the apartment lottery as a pair (and do not join an existing block) you will be given a fresh lottery number - your singles lottery number will be unrelated to your lottery number for an apartment.

2) Do nothing. If you are a rising senior, we will assume you have elected to live off-campus. If you are a rising junior, you will be contacted over the summer for your preferences, and we will place you in an available space late in the summer.

Women have an additional option. The online system closed last night as planned, but there were still nine single rooms left. We’ll take the plame for this - we did not expect there to still be rooms available at that late time, so the system was set to turn off at the end of the last session. We apologize for this, but we are offering the following:

• If you are interested in one of these rooms, please email us by 8am Monday March 24. Available rooms are listed on the Room/Apartment Locator. Rank the available rooms in the order you prefer them. We will take any responses we receive, put them in lottery number order, and place as many students as possible. We will email results of this process late Monday.

We thank everyone for your patience and cooperation last night and as we finish off this process!
