FAQ
There are no set amount of points needed for any given accommodation type. It varies greatly from year to year depending on various factors such as class size and demand. For the townhouses, in general, groups of rising juniors and seniors have the best chance (and it becomes more an issue of picking priority versus whether they get in or not), but we have had plenty of groups in the past who have had one or two rising sophomores as part of the group. Typically, a group of all rising sophomores (current freshmen) have very little chance of getting into a townhouse, but may have a chance at an apartment.
