I was waitlisted at my top school and wasn’t told that I didn’t get off the waitlist until May 12th. I put a deposit down at James Madison University, my second choice, and I just found out that the housing deadline is May 15th. I don’t know if I should find a roommate using JMU’s roommate search or if I should just go random. I did find 3 people that I could see myself rooming with since we had similar interests and want the same things in a roommate. Do you think that most people that wanted to find a roommate have already found one already? I only have today and tomorrow to find a roommate. What should I do?
Personally, I’d just go random. You have equal chances of hating your roommate whether you choose them or not, because the things that will annoy you about someone are often little things that don’t bug you until you have to deal with them 24/7. If it will just make you stressed and anxious to search right before the deadline, why go through that?
Good luck, whatever you choose!
