How well does the room and roommate assignment process work?
Each year the Office of Residence Life has the task of assigning hundreds of new students to rooms and roommates. The vast majority of students remain together through their first year on campus. This task is done by hand, matching roommates one student at a time. It is not possible to meet every request of every student. A crucial part of living in a residence hall and getting along with your new classmates is how much of an effort you make to get to know your roommate and to adjust to each other’s habits and lifestyles.
