Upper Year Room Assignments
I have some questions regarding Room Assignments for Upper Year Students.

Is the Guaranteed list ordered by sessional average?

How does the Lottery work exactly? How is it random, while taking into account your preferences?

Lastly, do Upper Year students usually get Single Rooms?

Thanks.

For the most part, upper year students get single rooms. The ones who don't are usually staff in Bates/Keyes. However, sometimes upper year students do get put in large occupancy rooms.

My understanding of the lottery is that everyone's names are put into it, and then picked. If you get picked higher up on the list, then you are more likely to get your choices. If you are picked lower on the list you are less likely to get your top choices.

As for the guaranteed list, I believe you need to have maintained a certain average. However, the average is lower if you have applied to be staff. But, I am pretty sure they do not order people's averages, unless there are more applicants than they have space for (ie more have the guaranteed average).
