<p>I want to confirm my UMD status as soon as possible but have no clue who to have as a roommate. I feel I might meet one later on during orientation or after some of my friends decide and commit to UMD. In the form it is asking me to request a roommate right now but I have to just leave it blank.</p>
<p>Is it possible to request one at a later time EVEN though I have left it blank and submitted the housing request?</p>
<p>ahh wonderin the same thing</p>
<p>Question: The part where it asks you to request a roommate, can you only put one name down?</p>
<p>I suggest doing it ASAP.A friend from last year requested a roommate and a dorm and got a forced triple in a dorm she didnt request with 2 girls she had NOTHING in common with.
She was told it was because she didnt get her deposit in ASAP and housing is done by deposit date. Best of luck!</p>
<p>so I would recommend confirming ASAP as well, since it does go first come first serve, but you should be able to call housing and ask about requesting. I assume you could request later, it might be harder to accomodate, but you would have to have both of you confirmed and request anyway, so if you were going to wait until a friend confirmed later after hearing from another school or something, you wouldn’t be able to request them yet anyway, does that make sense?</p>
<p>ps-congrats!</p>
