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.
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 University of Miami.
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.
