Columbia University Housing

Room Selection for current students is an active process with many choices and options, including, but not limited to, living with friends in a suite or living alone in a single, air-conditioned room on a corridor. Due to the many variations of personal situations and options available, we recommend that you explore the detailed, specific information in the complete Room Selection Guidelines and the Rules and Exception section.

The Room Selection Process begins with Registration March 11 - March 26, when all students must register their intent to participate in Suite Selection, General Selection, or Special Housing.
