<p>[Housing</a> and Advising Form | Yale College](<a href=“http://yalecollege.yale.edu/content/housing-and-advising-form]Housing”>http://yalecollege.yale.edu/content/housing-and-advising-form)</p>
<p>Just like at Harvard, accepted students at Yale fill out a roommate survey which tries to match students with similar interests, asking questions about alcohol consumption, getting up early, going to bed late, how clean or messy you keep your room etc. Often times though, students fill out these surveys with their parents looking over their shoulder, so the answers a university obtains is not always accurate. </p>
<p>FWIW: Harvard’s Freshman Dean’s Office has a great sense of humour when placing students together for roommates. For example, there is always a group of freshman placed in the “apostle” group – Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Or, the “Beatles” group – John, Paul, George and a kid who likes drumming. Be careful what you ask for, as you may get it. As a joke, my daughter filled out her freshman roommate survey and basically said “I’m looking for a roommate who wears a size 4 dress, a 7 shoe, who has an extensive wardrobe and is willing to share.” She was given exactly that – but it was not a great match.</p>
<p>BTW: Underage drinking is not just a Yale issue. You can find it at Harvard and Princeton and Stanford and MIT – it’s an issue at just about every college in the United States. But, there are also non-drinkers at all those schools: [Harvard’s</a> Alcohol Amnesty Policy - The Daily Beast](<a href=“Harvard's Alcohol Amnesty Policy”>Harvard's Alcohol Amnesty Policy)</p>
