Housing Sign-Up Policies Incomplete Groups:  Incomplete groups will be housed as they arrive to housing sign-ups.  Groups of four, interested in living in Watson Village, will be placed in the same apartment until a complete group is formed to fill the space.  Students without a group are encouraged to attend the roommate mixers and join the “Roommate Finder” discussion board on WUSync. Ranks:  Ranks are based on the total student population eligible to sign-up for housing, including commuters and known 5th year seniors. Typically ranks range from 1-1100 depending on that year’s enrollment. Generally just over 950 students sign-up for housing.  Group ranks will be determined by the average rank of 75% of the group.
