Pairs in Walsh

Students can now apply in Groups of two for Walsh spots

Instead of scrambling to form large groups to live in Walsh Hall, rising sophomores can now apply to the Sophomore Living Experience, a program where selected pairs will be placed in Walsh Hall quads or eight-mans with randomly assigned suitemates.

“If you are someone who is interested in selecting one roommate, developing relationships with new students, and confirming your housing assignment prior to room selection, this is for you,” the 2023–24 housing application reads.

When filling out their housing applications, rising sophomores can opt in or out of the new program.

Students may indicate their preference for a four- or eight-person suite in the housing application.

“You are able to select one friend to live with you within a 4 or 8 person suite, and then the housing assignments team will assign your other suitemates,” the application reads.
