Do we have an option for roommates or is it like University decides?

<p>Do we have an option for roommates or is it like University decides? What is the system? I am clueless about it</p>

<p>That depends on the school. In my experience, most will let you choose if it fits their school process, but will happily assign you a roommate if you have no preference. (what I mean is that they will not usually let you choose a roommate of the opposite gender. Some have Freshman only dorms. Some put similar majors together, etc.)</p>

<p>Some kids do not know anyone else going to that school when they register, so they take what they get and then try to swap once school starts and they form friendships. Others go to school with their BFF and hope to room together. Personal experience: being roommates with a good friend can ruin the friendship.</p>

<p>Totally depends on the school. For example; At my school we have a specific time limit to pick our dorm buildings/and apartments, so technically during that time we are actually picking our roommates. After that specific time if you can’t pick a roommate or don’t do it, then the school does it for you.</p>

<p>Ok… Thank you!!! By the way in which college you both are???</p>
