Chance of getting requested roommate?

The RU housing application states that I may not get my requested roommate. But I’ve heard that the chances of being paired with someone else are slim. Could someone help me validate this?

Any things possible but If you guys both requested each other and answered the survey the same way then you should have a good chance of being together. When did you do the app?

I only could submit the app recently because I was out of the country for a while.

The chances of you getting your roommate may be slim since they’ve gotten through most of the housing assignments and housing assignments come out in about a week & a half. They usually recommend both roommates submitting around the same time for the best chances. They do their best to match people with their request so it’s possible to still get paired with your roommate!

I called Rutgers and they said we could request a room swap when school starts, if we are not roommates. Does this guarantee anything?

Nothing is ever guaranteed. But in order for you to room swap your roommates have to agree as well since it effects them too.
