The only reasoning I can see behind not making it all based on seniority is that it would be strange to guarantee all freshmen on campus housing and then one year later make them last in line for housing and possibly force them off campus. Some group has to get the short end of the stick, and many students who end up going off campus usually start their junior year anyway.

At least the old lottery system put all students on an even playing field, albeit at the cost of great uncertainty every year on where you will be living.
