How does Agnes Scott assign halls?
All first-year students will be assigned to either Walters or Winship halls. First-year students will be assigned based upon their First-Year Seminar living & learning community.
Transfer students are assigned in all halls based upon availability.
Rising sophomores, juniors and seniors participate in a housing lottery process during spring semester. During the lottery, students choose their assignment based upon a seniority point system.
Agnes Scott will mail you a letter with your hall and roommate assignment in mid-July for fall semester and early January for spring semester.
How does Agnes Scott assign roommates?
If you requested a roommate in the enrolled student form and that student also requested you, the Office of Residence Life will give priority to matching you with that roommate.
If you did not request a roommate in the enrolled student form, the Office of Residence Life will hand-match you with a student based on your answers in the enrolled student form.
Agnes Scott will mail you a letter with your hall and roommate assignment in mid-July for fall semester and early January for spring semester.
