Get in touch with the folks at Boston College.
Unless things have changed
dramatically, I recall that they use a lottery
to determine which students
get 4 years guaranteed housing versus 3 years.
I think Bob Capalbo is the
person to talk to as he's been there for some
time and can give you a
history of the policy as well as the good,
the bad and the ugly regarding
implementation.
Good luck.
