Housing Selection
Make Iona your home today!
Housing Selection is an exciting time for our rising sophomores, juniors and seniors. We know that for each member of our campus community, their home is one of the most important pieces of their journey at Iona. Our department works diligently to ensure that each student is aware of the various phases of our Housing Selection process, so that it’s easy to make our residential communities your home away from home. Please see the information regarding the 2025-2026 housing selection process below. If you have further questions, please contact our Assistant Director of Residential Life, Chasity Wilson, at cwilson@iona.edu.
