For upperclassmen who wish to remain in their buildings, each college house holds its own lottery to assign rooms. Some college houses give students the option of retaining their rooms, using the lottery to assign the remaining rooms. While each house’s lottery is different, most houses award points based on seniority and the number of semesters lived in the house. In those cases, the lottery is used to break ties. Students with the highest priority after the lottery pick their rooms first.
