Part of the housing application includes providing information about your personal, academic, and social preferences in your living environment. Residential Life uses that information to create roommate matches for all first-year students. Therefore, you do not choose your roommate yourself.

While first-year students cannot select roommates, we use advanced software to find the most compatible person possible within your LLC theme. Also, we work very closely with our Resident Assistants to offer a directed conversation and Roommate Agreement packets to be completed at the beginning of the semester to ensure all roommates can begin forming great relationships.

If you are uncomfortable with your roommate situation, you can request a change with Housing. However, changes will not be made until after the first two weeks of the semester. Any room changes that are processed during the academic year will be completed within the same LLC/housing area. Changes are not guaranteed. Please read for more information on the room change request process.
