With the four-year residency requirement, the lottery system essentially determines what type of housing option will be available to you
While students used to look forward to moving off campus, it is now essentially impossible. The new housing system puts strict measures on students to live in approved apartment buildings that are either owned by or associated with the college. Living off campus used to be cheaper than living on campus, but that was before the new system. Approved apartment buildings boast ridiculous rent prices, far higher than the cost of finding a place on your own.
Students have spoken negatively about the new system from day one, though some find it easier than looking for a place on their own. The lottery system either works for you or against you when choosing a living place, and if you get a bad number, you could end up living with total strangers.

Not Much Needed, but Still Not Enough
Only about 75 students get off-campus wavers, but with student numbers rising, it's hard to get a waver even if you don't have a room set up for next year

College Prowler guides are in the hands of students throughout the entire process. Because you can't make student-written guides without the students, we have students at each campus who write, edit, and survey their peers for every guide that we publish.
