Distanced from Campus Life, International Students Attempt to Assemble Blocking Groups, Prepare for Housing Day | News

UPDATED: Thursday, March 11 at 3:40 p.m.
Benjamin A. “Ben” Ray ’24, an international student from England, hasn’t set foot on Harvard’s campus as a student, much less experienced residential life at the College.
Yet on Thursday morning, when housing lottery registration closes, he and hundreds of other international freshmen — who have been restricted from Harvard campus life by international visa restrictions — will commit to a group of up to eight students with which to be placed in one of Harvard’s 12 upperclassman houses for the next three years.
Ray said it was “difficult” to find potential blockmates since he did not live on campus last semester; he eventually defaulted to blocking with fellow members of the rowing team.
