Room Selection: New/Incoming Athletes

Starting in May of 2025, there will be a new room selection process for new/incoming athletes, which will allow them to find housing with one another. Returning athletes will participate in open room selection, not the New/Incoming student athlete room selection process.

New/Incoming student athletes should contact their athletic coach as soon as possible to discuss prospective suitemates. Coaches may have specific roommate recommendations, or they may be able to provide the names of other teammates or athletes who are seeking roommates.

Once new/incoming student athletes know who they would like to live with, they will need to complete roommate matching via their housing portal. The sooner students submit their housing application and complete roommate matching, the better chance they have of obtaining their preferred suite styles.

New/Incoming student athletes can still choose to participate in general room selection if they want.

Additional information will be coming soon regarding the timeline for the New/Incoming student athlete room selection process. Students should keep an eye on their PennWest email for more details.
