Choosing roomates by Febuary 1st?

I submitted my housing deposit the first day it opened but have not yet chosen roommates. On the facebook page everyone is saying if you don’t have your roomates by the first you can’t chose your dorm and room. Do I need to race to find a roommate by Wednesday to get a good room? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

No you don’t. You can “pull in” whoever you want to room with you if you paid that early. Your future roommate just has to pay by May 1, which is just before the selection period begins.

Roommates must be confirmed by 5pm Central time on May 1. Keep searching!
