Current Resident FAQs on the Housing Process

Current HLS students living in HLS Housing will receive a housing application announcement in late March.

The full application, lottery and room selection process happens in April.

HLS Housing has several multi-room options for HLS students to live together for the academic year:

• Hastings Hall – Two-bedroom suites
• 1637 Mass Avenue – Two-bedroom apartments, two-bedroom efficiency suites (available exclusively for 2L, 3L J.D, and S.J.D.)
•  Mellen Street – Three-bedroom house (available exclusively for 2L, 3L J.D, and S.J.D.)
• 5 Mellen Street – Five-bedroom house (available exclusively for 2L, 3L J.D, and S.J.D.)

During the housing application process you can either create a group or join an established group.  When room selection opens the group member with the earliest lottery time slot may assign members of their group to the suite/apartment they choose.

All members of the group must sign their own room license agreement/apartment lease.

To learn more about groups and suitemates please check the Groups & Suitemates page.

Students who previously lived in HLS Housing and would like to return may join the in-room returners for room selection in April if they have checked-out for one of the following reasons:

• a study abroad program
• on an LOA

Please contact HLS Housing with a request to join April’s room selection.

If the reasons above do not apply to you, you may apply to HLS Housing on June 1st with all other general applicants.
