Returning students choose their rooms for the upcoming coming academic year through Room Selection. This process typically takes place in the Spring semester.

Wheaton offers an array of housing options that have specific social and academic focuses. Depending on what you are looking for, rooms are selected through either application (Theme Houses and Beard) or lottery (General Room Selection, Suites, etc.).
