Housing Lottery Explainer - First Year!

If you are thinking of living on campus, it’s time to get your preferences in order so you’re ready for the housing lottery! Boise State’s Housing Application period opens March 18 for first year students and closes April 5.
The lottery system was put in place to make sure all students have an equal chance at living on campus. We want you to have plenty of time to review your housing options and make informed choices. All applicant names will be randomly sorted, and all applications submitted during the window will be equally considered, so don’t worry about applying early.
