How are hall and roommate assignments made?

Returning students select their rooms during the spring term for the following Fall term. New students to Lambuth are assigned a residence hall room during the summer and receive their assignments in mid to late July.

Students whose deposits are received before the May 1st priority deadline will be placed first. Priority is determined by the date on which the housing deposit is received by the Office of Housing/Residence Life. If you request to live with a particular person, and that person requests you, every effort will be made to honor that request. If you do not indicate a preference, the information on the housing application will be used to choose a suitable roommate.

When will my room assignment and roommate information be sent?

Are private rooms available?

Students may request a private room during housing lottery in the spring semester, but private rooms are not guaranteed and are awarded as space becomes available.

What about the telephones?

Each room is equipped with two telephone lines, and each student is assigned a voice mailbox through the campus system. Phones are not supplied, so you must bring your own. An answering machine is not necessary due to the campus's own voice mail system, over which university-wide events and announcements are made on a regular basis.
