<p>Ok so after I only got 3 years of housing I was really curious why and someone on here told me it was because I was in the bottom 50% of applicants. </p>
<p>At the Admitted Eagle day, however, I did the dorm tour and they told me the real way they decide 3/4 years. I decided I’d post it in case anyone else was curious.</p>
<p>So they said that it is true half the applicants get 4 years and half get three years, however it comes down to:</p>
<p>4 years-
Varsity Athletes
Students with disabilities
Honors Students
Top 15(Not 50)% of admits.
A few other groups were given 4 years but I can’t remember them off the top of my head.</p>
<p>Those who get four years housing:</p>
<p>Varsity Athletes (Only to students who have a sport scholarship.)</p>
<p>Students with disabilities (True.)</p>
<p>Honors Students (True, and Honors makes up about the top 5% of any class.)</p>
<p>Top 15(Not 50)% of admits. (True.)</p>
<p>A few other groups were given 4 years but I can't remember them off the top of my head. (Let me clarify this one. One of groups of students you mention here are low-income students (typically not in-state). If your family is poor and you're from place far away, you have a very high chance of getting four year housing. Also, they are mostly minority students.)</p>
<p>Nursing students also get four years of housing.</p>
<p>oh yeah...i remember now she definetly did say nursing students too...</p>
