Housing and Residential Communities uses a roommate search to help incoming residents make friends and find a compatible roommate, so they can expect a great first-year college experience. Incoming freshmen can select one roommate, if they choose. Students who do not select a roommate will still have one or more through either staff assignment or room selection.
Admitted students who have completed their housing applications have access to search for and/or confirm a roommate beginning December 13. More information regarding roommates will be emailed to students with a housing application later this fall. Incoming freshmen can form a roommate pair with one other person, for a total of two people in their pair.
If students find a roommate and want to form a roommate pair, they will do so in their myHousing portal (not MCR). To create a roommate pair, students will go to the portal; click on myRoomie; click on “Go to the Roommate Group Section;” click on “Create Group,” and click on “Invite,” entering their intended roommate’s first and last name. Information about freshman roommate deadlines will be provided in early 2025.
Participating in online room selection does not guarantee your choice of a specific residence hall, room type or roommate. For students who applied for housing after Feb. 3, HRC staff consider building preferences as listed on the application and prioritize assigning roommates together, as space permits. However, we cannot guarantee any building, room type or roommate.
