<p>I want to apply for housing early, but I am not sure if I am rooming with my friend or not. Is it possible to apply for housing then pick a room mate afterwards or do I have to pick a roommate while applying for housing?</p>
<p>When applying for housing they ask you to put in a preferred roommate. You can choose to skip this portion but if you do be aware that you can get paired with just about anyone. If you are not sure whether or not you are living with your friend I would recommend adding him or her as a preferred roommate anyway so that you have the security of living with someone you know (if that’s something you value). If not, then throw caution to the wind and see who you end up with. If you are really incredibly unhappy with your roommate you can talk to your RA who can assist you in coordinating a room switch. It’s a bit of a hassle but nobody is going to tell you, “Suck it up, you’re stuck with them until the year’s over.”</p>
