Housing

The Computer Interest Floor is a Special Interest Housing Group. This mean that we are allocated a specific amount of rooms to fill with CIF members.
Members are not required to live on floor but it is greatly encouraged and comes with benefits.

Why Live on Floor?

Living on floor is both convenient and beneficial, many CIF events occur on Anderson 3 or in the CIF lab in Anderson’s basement, living on floor gives easy access to these events. CIF also has its own kitchenware and furniture that is maintained with the dues members pay. Proximity to other members is especially useful when sharing the same classes.

Escape The Housing Lottery

CIF’s housing system is completely separate from the university’s housing lottery. Members choose their rooms in order of greatest housing points. Housing points are earned in a variety of ways including:

• Semesters spent as a CIF member while in CIF housing.
• Semesters spent living in a double in CIF housing.
• Semesters spent as a CIF member on campus.
• Semesters spent as a CIF member while studying abroad.
• Being the winner of our Nauticock Award.
• Semesters spent as a member of CIF’s E-Board.
• Semesters in the university while not a CIF member
• Earning 1.5x the particpation point requirement.

Members who have equal housing points will be sorted by their join date.
