<p>I know about Rice's residential college system but I still have a question. Are incoming freshman allowed to request a certain roommate?</p>
<p>As of two years ago the answer was, yes, as long as both roommates request each other. You can't choose which college you will be in, though. I don't know if it has changed since then, though...</p>
<p>Thank you for your response, I appreciate it : )</p>
<p>Yes. As far as I know, it is also possible to request to be placed in the same college as another new student, but not as roommates.</p>
<p>What Dorian said is true, I have friends who went to high school together and requested to be in the same college but knew that they could not room together.</p>
<p>There's no way me and my friend would be able to be roommates?</p>

See above. OR you can request to be in the same college but NOT be roommates.</p>
<p>I have two friends who are from the same HS who are roommates. Rooming arrangements are done by o-week coordinators, who are usually juniors or seniors who are pretty sympathetic to such requests. Don't worry about it.</p>
