Yesterday, block information was released for the 2008-2009 academic year. For the classes of 2010 and 2011, this also marked the first in-practice demonstration of the new housing lottery system. While the new system is designed to be more fair, so it is powered by a program which removes most chance from the system. The core idea behind the program is to have every Swarthmore's students three housing lottery numbers average out to the same number. The Rising Sophomore Lottery This lottery is very simple—-the members of the rising sophomore class are randomly sorted and then assigned sequential numbers.
