How to Use the Directory Filters

Use this filter to see building options based on class demographics. 

  • "Mostly" means that ≥ 50% of the building is made up of that class
  • "Some" means that 26-49% of the building is made up of that class
  • "Few" means that ≤ 25% of the building is made up of that class
  • "Only" means that the building is designated for a single class

This information is based on Room Selection data and varies year-to-year.

Use this filter to see building options based on your group size.  

  • 1-person tags show buildings that have spaces designated for just one person (corridor single, studio apartment, one-bedroom apartment).
     
  • 2-person tags show buildings that have corridor-style doubles, or apartments or suites that fit a 2-person group.
     
  • 3 or more person tags show buildings that have suites or apartments that can accommodate groups of that specific size living together.  
     

Remember, groups can break apart during Room Selection. Your group should consider options that are an exact match to your group size (i.e., a 6-person suite), or that allow you to divide (i.e., three doubles). 

Use this filter to see building based on layout. 

  • Corridor-style buildings offer single or double rooms off of a hallway. Amenities like bathrooms, kitchens, and lounges are communal and are shared among the building. RAs have access to all communal spaces, but not bedrooms.
  • Suite-style buildings offer single or double rooms grouped around shared amenities like bathrooms, kitchens, and/or lounges. RAs have access to all shared amenities, but not bedrooms.
  • Apartment-style buildings offer single or double rooms with private amenities. RAs do not have access to the apartment’s amenities or bedrooms.
