<p>If I live on campus freshman and sophomore years ....</p>
<p>1) .... and I do study abroad junior year, what are my chances of snagging on campus housing senior year? (estimate a %)</p>
<p>2) ... and I do study abroad only in the summer, what are my chances of snagging on campus housing junior year? (estimate a %)</p>
<p>100% to both.</p>
<p>But I thought Georgetown only guaranteed two years on campus.</p>
<p>It’s guaranteed three and there is a lottery system for the fourth. There are so many people who end up living off campus at some point, in all practicality, if you want on campus housing all four years, you’ll get it.</p>
<p>Where do you see that three years are guaranteed? The housing website says:</p>
<p>Students are guaranteed two years of housing and may request housing for their junior and senior years. The university has four residence halls for first-year students and nine residence areas dedicated to sophomores through seniors.</p>
<p>Just because you can request, doesn’t mean you’ll get it.</p>
<p>In my acceptance packet, it said that Freshmen and Sophomores HAVE to live on campus, but it said nothing about whether any additional years are guaranteed.</p>
<p>Note: I would be in the College, not SFS, in case that makes a difference.</p>
<p>It doesn’t make a difference.</p>
<p>You get points for every year you live on campus, rising juniors get first housing pick, so you will get housing.
FYI, I am a rising junior and I forgot to sign up for housing, but I still managed to get an on campus apartment.
If you go abroad your junior year, then you are not using your housing points and can therefore use them your senior year and get first pick of on campus housing.</p>
<p>They can only officially guarantee 2 years, but if you want to live on campus as a junior or senior (which many people choose not to do), it shouldn’t be a problem.</p>
<p>Not sure why the official writing hasn’t changed over (maybe there would be an issue if one day all the borders were closed and no one could study abroad), but your third year of housing eligibility (it is assumed that everyone will use at least three) is the one for which you have the highest pick, be it your junior year or your senior year. If you try to get a fourth year of eligibility, chances are still pretty good you’ll get one, but your pick will be low.</p>
