Other than room surf or the Penn State class of 2019 facebook groups, does anyone know of any other good places to find roommates?
My D has joined both but it seems so overwhelming. It’s so hard to see who you’d be a good match for… I’m trying to stay out of it for the most part because she will have to live with the person and they with her. I’ve suggested a few people to her and I think as soon as I suggest them they are crossed off the list, LOL.
Anyway, just wondering if there are other sites that have worked for others or any other ideas…
For students attending Summer, one place to find a roommate for Fall-Spring is during the Summer session. If they can take their chances for a summer roommate, they will likely meet someone during summer session that they want to room with for the Fall/Spring.
“Housing Contract preferences can be modified until May 15. Students attending both summer and fall semesters should indicate preferences for both contract periods. For a limited time at the beginning of summer session, summer session students can submit fall roommate preferences.”
Thats awesome information! Thanks! I was worried about the summer/fall housing thing thinking that she only had until May 15th to choose a fall roommate!
My daughter’s freshman roommate did summer session and I recall her saying the summer students could make room and roommate requests post 5/15. We all hope for a positive roommate experience for our kids but just in case, it is very common (and very easy) for kids to move dorms and switch roommates after first semester. Fingers crossed they love their roommates but so nice to know they can switch it up if not!
