Approximately 190 rising juniors and seniors are still without housing after this year's lottery, housing officials said Wednesday. But all rising sophomores, including more than 170 who were on the list after the weekend's lottery, have campus housing for next year.
Andrew Sonn, director of Housing Services, said his office is working to find beds for students currently on the waiting list. Housing officials placed rising sophomores waiting for campus housing in Madison and Mitchell Halls.
"We've been down in the trenches, working this out," Sonn said. "We managed to get about 50 beds from pull-ins in mixed class halls who didn't accept their assignments. The rest will come from beds being held for transfer students."
Sonn refused to disclose the number of transfer student beds withheld from the housing lottery or how many of the beds will be assigned to non-transfer students.
"We have enough beds to accommodate both current and transfer students, as well as the (expected incoming) freshman class (of 2,400 students)," Sonn said. He said additional beds will be made available in the summer when students move off campus or leave the University.
While Sonn was hesitant to predict how many people the summer turnover might involve, sources close to housing predicted it would yield between 150 and 200 beds.
Sonn emphasized that students remaining on the waiting list can still apply for rooms in The Gallery in Rosslyn, Va., and Columbia Plaza. While students who choose Columbia Plaza are not allowed to re-enter the guaranteed housing selection process, students living in The Gallery will remain eligible.
A two-person apartment in Columbia Plaza can run between $850 and $1,650 per month depending on the configuration. Four-person apartments run from $2,100 to $2,550 per month.
In The Gallery, a one bedroom/one bathroom apartment ranges from $1,750 to $2,250 a month, a two bedroom/one bathroom ranges from $2,300 to $2,700 a month and a two-bedroom/two bathroom ranges from $2,500 to $3,100 a month.
