Join us for a conversation about the room selection process and how William & Mary supports students in choosing their on-campus housing. Staff from Residence Life will walk families through the timeline, tools, and tips for navigating this important step in the transition to college life. We’ll also share how our residential communities foster belonging and connection through the work of Resident Assistants and other community-building efforts.
