First Year Student Housing

We want to do whatever we can to help you transition smoothly into Bethel housing. If you have any questions along the way, let us know how we can help.

2024 first-year room assignment

The first step in the room assignment process is completing the Housing Application found on your MyHousing page. On the application, you will be able to list your residence hall preferences. You will be assigned to a room based on your hall preferences. Priority is based on your application submission date. Room assignments will be finalized by mid-June and posted on your MyHousing page. 

Getting matched with roommates

Most first-year students don't know who they're living with when they sign up for housing. If that's you, you'll be paired up with another student during the housing assignment process.

If you do have someone you would like to live with, choose your roommate by visiting your MyHousing page through MyBethel (click the Housing & Meals link in the Tools and Resources menu).

See the roommate selection instructions for what to do once you're logged in to MyHousing

Bethel does not use a "Roommate Matching" survey. You can ask your admissions counselor about tools they know students are using (i.e., Instagram, etc.) or admissions events that could be a great place to meet other new students.
