Description
[[Image:clusterMap.jpg|right|thumbnail|Map of the four clusters.]]
CurrentlyBefore the start of "Neighborhood" housing in [[Fall 2006]], Williams upperclass housing is was a "[[Free agency|free agent]]" system. Students form formed groups of up to 4 and are were assigned lottery numbers within their class. They Individuals then choose chose rooms on campus in order of lottery number, from lowest to highest.
Anchor housing restricts the room draw to a small cluster of dorms. Houses on campus will be divided into four clusters, each containing approximately six houses and one "anchor" house chosen to serve as the social hub of the cluster. Rising sophomores will form groups of six, and each group will be randomly assigned to a cluster. Upperclassmen will choose rooms in a lottery exclusive to their own cluster. Students remain in the same cluster throughout their time at Williams.
