❓ Sophomore Year Housing FAQ

What changes between freshman and sophomore housing at Tulane University?

Sophomores typically lose access to first-year-only halls and pick from a wider pool — but with a lottery system that depends on randomized draw numbers. Pull-in groups (you + your future roommate(s)) get one shared draw number, so a strong roommate's number can lift you both.

What's the housing lottery process?

Each college runs the lottery slightly differently. Generally: every rising sophomore gets a random number, groups can pull in one another, and rooms fill in number order. Check your housing portal for the exact rules at Tulane University.

Should I move off campus as a sophomore?

Most schools require sophomores to live on campus. If yours allows off-campus, it's usually cheaper but you lose the dining hall + housing-staff support. Sophomore year is often the wrong year to leave — most off-campus moves work better as a junior.
