My daughter is headed to the University of Texas and will live in a 4x4 in Callaway this Fall 2020. She was planning on finding roomies through orientation and just word of mouth, but COVID-19 has definitely changed that approach. Any ideas on how to best find a roomie these days? Are there apps/websites?? She’s trying not to panic, but so much is happening these days and so many changes in plans.
My son initially found a roommate through the admitted student’s FB page. The other student put out an intro saying he was looking for a roommate and my son contacted him directly and they did a facetime meeting. At the time they were both 95% sure they were going to UT. That was mid March. As it turns out, my son decided to go elsewhere and contacted the other student immediately upon changing his mind and the other student had other people contact him, so he likely has another roommate by now. I’d put something out on on the admitted student’s facebook page saying what she hopes for in roommates and that she’s already signed up for Callahan. She could get people to do Zoom meetings.
