Roommate Selection:
Here are some tips for finding the right fit in a roommate for you.
- Honestly fill out the roommate matching information. Your roommate is someone that you will get to know really well so you might as well try and be up front with your habits and preference. The first step to this is filling out the matching profile on your housing application.
- Search for a roommate based on the criteria that is most important to you. You will have the ability to view the preferences of other students that have applied. Think about the traits that are most important and start your search based on that.
- Keep an open mind. If you have never shared a room before, it might feel a little strange. Know that your roommate probably feels the same way and you both will feel more comfortable the more that you communicate.
- Remember, we are here to help! The Residence Life staff is available 24/7 to help you manage the relationship with your roommate. Remember that is important to seek help early if there is conflict. We can help with all types of conflict resolution.
