Housing Selection for 2025-2026 is here. Your Home at the Hall is waiting for you—just follow these key steps to secure your space on campus. Follow along as current residents Elliot and Edward share their helpful tips for navigating the returner housing selection process.
The housing selection process starts before you even log into MCR—it starts with a little home-work! Make sure you complete the following steps to enter the returner selection lottery:
Submit your $325 deposit through the Seton Hall Marketplace.
Register for classes – you must be registered full-time for Fall 2025 in order to access your housing application.
Complete the Fall 2025 Returning Student Housing Application in MCR Housing through Pirate Net – this will open within four hours of completing your course registration
All students who complete those three steps by the April 22nd deadline will receive a Housing Lottery timeslot, so start thinking about who you would like to live with and where.
Looking for a roommate can be difficult if you don’t know who or what you are looking for, but current resident, Edward, found these were incredibly helpful questions to consider before starting the process.
Questions you may consider as you think about rooming with someone:
Thinking about these questions can narrow down your search for your ideal roommate. Additionally, if you add these answers to your profile in MCR, the system will generate more roommate profiles that are like your own so you can reach out to people who may be a great fit to live with.
During the Housing Lottery Selection Period, if you are a part of a roommate group, you must make a group of no more than 7 people. Utilize MCR to its full potential when selecting roommates to build your ideal suite.
Returning resident Elliot recommends these tips when using MCR:
If you are confused about a piece of the process or don’t understand a certain email you received, reach out to [email protected] as soon as possible. We are here to help.
If you do not select during the Lottery Period, and you still have completed all required steps, you can select during the Post-Lottery period. During the Post Lottery Housing Selection period, you are not required to fill-a-suite. At this time you/your group can fill the remaining vacancies without needing to fill the suite.
Selection Quick Facts:
If you have questions, please ask the Residence Life staff. They want to help you and can only do that if you tell them what is going on.
Common Questions:
How do I make a roommate group?
A roommate group can be created in the MCR Housing app through Pirate Net AFTER submission of your housing application. 
What building should I choose? 
Elliott recommends a good way to pick is based on the number of people in your roommate group. For example, if you have four people, a suite in Xavier would be a good choice, but if you have more, the Complex could be a better option.
Edward also offers more advice on selecting a space. Consider amenities you may prefer, such as distance to the laundry room or if there is an elevator in the building or not. Additionally, find out where your friends are hoping to live.
If you’re interested in seeing buildings you’ve never lived in before, check out our virtual tours and/or look out for more information regarding UCA building tours coming soon.

Unlucky? Here are 13 crazy things more likely to happen than winning the lottery
The major lotteries in the United States offer two jackpot payout options: annuity and cash.
The annuity option is paid out over time. There is an immediate payment and then 29 annual payments after that, increasing by 5% each year.
The cash option is significantly lower than the advertised jackpot, but it is paid in a lump sum. You don’t have to wait decades for all the money.
In some states, like New Jersey, you can win a lottery anonymously. That wasn’t always the case, but now winners are able to stay anonymous under a law that was signed by Gov. Phil Murphy.  
In other states, a winner’s name and hometown are a matter of public record. Check with your state lottery for more information.
Here are the Top 10 jackpots since the Powerball lottery began in 1992:
Here’s a look at the top jackpots won in the United States, between the Powerball and the Mega Millions lotteries:

Euromillions builder Steve Thomson today revealed how a family disability sparked an amazing act of kindness that saw him plough vast sums of his £105million Lotto win into a community project.
The white van man – who was said to have pined for his old life after bagging one of Britain's biggest ever payouts – initially bought a second-hand minibus for a disability charity. But Steve, 48, has now turned a derelict building into a base for a charity to support young adults with disabilities to live, learn and work.
Dad-of-three Steve – who promised customers he would finish their jobs for free after scooping the jackpot just before Christmas in 2019 – said: "My dad’s sister had severe Lumbar Scoliosis so I was raised to respect people with disabilities and to try and help where I can. When I was ten, my dad Peter started teaching disabled youngsters to swim every week. I was a good swimmer, so I’d go along to help, and this lasted a couple of years. Dad’s kindness sowed the seeds of what I’m doing now."
The new centre in Chichester, West Sussex, across three floors, has a boot room, a sensory room, an open-plan classroom and a training kitchen and café called Boardwalk Cafe. Founded with Hilary Freeborough and Louise Collins who run Together Our Community – TOC – the centre allows a chance for young people to learn how to cook and develop skills in hospitality.
Humble Steve, married to Slovakian wife Lenka, 47, initially told how the EuroMillions win made his life an “emotional rollercoaster” and said going back to work part-time was helping him cope. He bought a second-hand VW van with the Euromillions cash and initially stayed in his £150,000 three-bed terrace house in Selsey, West Sussex.
But after securing his family's future and buying a 14.5-acre sprawling estate in Kent with a swimming pool, tennis court and six bedrooms, Steve has now begun helping others. Steve said: "I knew exactly where I wanted to help after I won. A few friends have sons and daughters with autism and other learning difficulties, and there was nothing in the area for them to congregate safely, learn skills and make friends.
"As soon as they turn 18 they are completely forgotten about unless they’re lucky enough to get a funded place in college. Even so, parents are left totally isolated and often have to give up their own jobs to support their kids. It’s a real struggle and heart breaking to hear their stories."
He added: "During lockdown, I was introduced to Hilary and Louise. I started talking to them, and realised the scale of the problem. At first I helped TOC in a small way, buying a secondhand minibus to take the young people out for work experience with local businesses, volunteering activity and fun day-trips. It soon became apparent that what TOC really needed was a permanent centre, a place they could expand and help other young adults aged between 18 and 35, and that’s when I started to look for, and then buy, a building for them."
Hilary said: "We were church and community hall hopping using any location we could find. But what we really needed was a consistent base, somewhere visible to be able to make the biggest difference for the young people. When Steve said ‘I’ve found the building for you’ we genuinely felt like we had won the jackpot ourselves. The support Steve has given us is incredible, he didn’t just write a cheque he has been here throughout, from planning the layout to ensuring we had the right circuit breakers and the leaves were swept, he has been a tremendous hands-on supporter for us, and the young people."
Fellow TOC founder, Louise added: "Steve is so humble but we keep reminding him that his commitment to supporting us and the passion he has shown for TOC will be life changing for so many young people. This building is exactly what Hilary and I dreamt about when we were first set up TOC but never believed would be possible. We cherish it every day and we’re going to show Steve his trust in us was well placed. It’s now for TOC to make this work, so we’ll continue to fundraise and look for support to provide the high quality opportunities that our young people deserve.’
Steve said: "I’m going to invite Dad, who is now 76, along to Boardwalk Café, because I know he’ll be delighted too that I’ve done something to make a difference. I’ve met with the young people who will benefit from this new centre and from working in the café and I’ve found it deeply moving and humbling – and as life-affirming as it was back then."
Steve and Lenka were unveiled as the seventh-biggest British winners in the history of the EuroMillions draw in 2019 when they won £105,100,701.90. Steve said his first priority was a bigger house so none of the kids have to share a bedroom.
Prior to the win Steve ran a small conservatories and home improvement firm with longtime friend Neil Peet. Speaking at the time, he promised his customers he would not bail on them before Christmas but will continue working for "the time being".
Steve and Slovakian Lenka met when he worked at a Selsey seaside campsite and she was an overseas student. They wed around 20 years ago and Steve once worked as a dustman to make ends meet.
But the Euromillions win made the couple wealthier than singer Harry Styles and Harry Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson. Steve only realised he had scooped the jackpot on the Lottery's 25th anniversary draw three days after the draw.
Steve said: "I was a shaking, gibbering wreck. I walked round the living room a few times, I went out to my van, walked back in, thought about knocking on a neighbour's door, then went back to the van. I think I was on the verge of having a heart attack. I am not sure I even looked at the first two lines, the third one just jumped out and I could tell they all matched."
He rushed to see Lenka at the newsagents where she worked to double-check they had won. But then they both went back to work. Steve had unfortunately put his foot through a ceiling while insulating a loft, so he spent the morning repairing the damage.
