Housing Selection Process

For first-year students, the housing selection process is conducted fully online the summer before the fall semester. First-year students are asked to complete a roommate matching survey that will automatically match students based on compatibility, according to basic lifestyle habits and preferences. Returning students have the ability to select their rooms based on class year and priority.

Substance-Free Housing

Rising sophomore students have the opportunity to complete the substance-free agreement when submitting their initial housing application. The Office of Residence Life & Housing attempts to match students who complete a substance free agreement as roommates during the first-year housing assignment process.

Resident Assistants

Trained and supervised by the Residence Life staff, resident assistants are Holy Cross students. Each attends to a floor of approximately 30 to 60 residents, works with a peer staff of approximately four to 12, and reports directly to Resident Directors and Area Coordinators.

Each floor is staffed by a resident assistant (RA) who helps maintain a healthy environment that promotes academic success, individual growth, community, comradeship and respect for others.

Resident Directors and Area Coordinators, full-time live-in staff professionals, also help create an environment that fosters principles of academic excellence, student development, and community responsibility.
