Any New Yorkers going to UIUC? And pairing roommate?

<p>Just wondering if there are anyone who are from new york and thinking about going to UIUC? And what major you will be studied at? Since UIUC is way too far away, so we prob can go or come back at the same time. I think that will be a good idea. I am not sure if the roommate thing has to go by the lottery system, or we can also chose it, just in case if we can choose it instead of being randomly selected, I am one of the students who needs one now, lol.. Whoever interest at finding a roommate, you can reply under the thread.
Im a girl, (kinda obvious^>^), and nationality is Asian, from New York.</p>
