You’ve got housing.

All but 89 of the 2,435 students who applied for university housing for next year received it, and administrators said Friday that they expect to find places for everyone on the waiting list by mid-summer.

Administrators said the number of wait-listed students was the smallest number in recent history. Last year at this time, there were about 270 people on the waiting list.

William Tempelmeyer, director of housing, said the number of applications fluctuates primarily according to enrollment numbers.

“It’s critically dependent on how many students are enrolled and how many students are seniors, because (graduating) seniors aren’t going to want to apply for housing in undergraduate resident halls,” he said.

This year, about 160 fewer people applied for university housing. As a result, the waiting list diminished dramatically. Last year, the first man and woman on the waiting list drew numbers 1,501 and 1,971, respectively. This year, those numbers leapt to 3,146 and 3,261.

Kemper Hall was the most popular dorm for both men and women in its second year as a housing option. The cutoff number was 16 for men and 37 for women. Last year the cutoff numbers were 143 for men and 21 for women.

Coming in at a distant second for men was Allison Hall with a cutoff of 650, compared with 743 last year. The next most popular dorm for women was 1835 Hinman, with a cutoff number of 99.

Many dorms, however, required far lower lottery numbers to get into than in previous years. For example, last year it took 86 or lower for a man to snag a spot at 1835 Hinman. This year, the cutoff was 1,406.

“It goes to show that people cannot use the previous year’s cutoff numbers to gauge what’s going to happen in the future,” Tempelmeyer said.

Other dorms that were less difficult to get into this year for a certain gender include Bobb-McCulloch (1,002 for a women last year; 2,665 this year); the Foster-Walker Complex (1,286 for men last year; 2,284 this year), and Sargent Hall (928 for men last year; 1,825 this year).

Tempelmeyer said the popularity of dorms varies over the years.

“It’s a perception as to whether students think that they would enjoy living there,” he said. “So if, for example, a particular building has had great programs and wonderful social activities in a given year, everyone says ‘Wow, Bobb-McCulloch is the place to be,’ so everybody wants to live there next year.”

This year’s lottery was the first in which squatter’s rights — which allowed students who live in a room one year to keep the same room the next year as long as they draw a number low enough to get into the building — were eliminated. Administrators said they hoped to make the lottery more fair, and discourage the buying and selling of numbers.

But Tempelmeyer said eliminating squatter’s rights had an undetermined effect on the number of students applying for housing.

“I don’t know whether or not that was a factor there,” he said. “I know that the enrollment and the size of the senior class is a factor. There are lots of different factors working simultaneously.”
