Room deposits pave way for Fall 2021 housing lottery
By Madeleine Girad, Contributing Writer
The time has yet again come to put down your deposit to secure your spot in the housing lottery. But for many freshmen, this process could be confusing. To place your deposit, go to www.sbu.edu/roomdeposit. Here, students can pay the $200 to secure their spot in the lottery, but don’t worry, you will not be paying an extra $200. The amount you put down from your deposit will be deducted from your overall tuition bill for the Fall 2021 semester.
“Students who pay a housing deposit by Feb. 26 will receive a random lottery score,” said Robbie Chulick, the university’s director of residence life. “That random lottery score will be used in their housing application.”
