What is Billeting? 

The billeting program allows incoming students living on residence and participating at Orientation 2019 to host an incoming commuter student for Orientation week (September 2 at 8:00AM to September 4 at 7:00PM). This program aims to make Orientation more commuter friendly, as well as allow commuter students to integrate themselves into the New College community. 

Apply early as spots are limited! Deadline to apply is August 26, 2019. 

Are you a residence student living in a single room?

As a residence student, we invite you to billet out your room, i.e.: share your room (single rooms only) with a commuter student from Monday, September 2 at 8:00AM to Wednesday, September 4 at 7:00PM.
