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 in February 2025. 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.
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.
