28 West Building Since on-campus housing is a popular option at Reed, a housing
lottery is held each spring in which returning students choose their
room for the following academic year. Rooms for first-year and transfer
students are assigned during the first week in August.

Residence life seeks to provide an environment where students are
able to successfully pursue both their academic and interpersonal
goals. Living in a residence hall at Reed offers students an
opportunity to become involved in a smaller community; most floors have
15-20 residents. More than just places to sleep or hang one's clothes,
residence halls provide an opportunity for students to learn about
themselves and others, meet people from all over the country and world,
and be exposed to lifestyles, ideas, and points of view that may be new
to them. Life in Reed residence halls is guided by the honor principle,
which promotes self-governance and expects students to think critically
about how their behavior or action affects others.
