Uniquely Minerva:
Minerva House rooms are typically larger than those found in other residence halls and offer special features such as hardwood floors.
The Office of Minerva Programs manages the Minerva housing lottery for rising sophomores, juniors and seniors. Students can only apply to live in their Minerva, although there is a process for friends belonging to different Houses to live together. Minerva housing lotteries are completed prior to the overall campus housing lottery.
