Hello,
I feel like this is a stupid question, but do we find out our roommates with our housing contract? I just received my housing contract, however, I can’t for the life of me find out where the roommate information is.
Thanks for any help 
Hey,
I believe that roommate information is sent later on and is not included right away with your housing contract. I got my housing contract back a couple weeks ago and noticed that it didn’t have anything about roommates. I’m not rooming blind though as I filled out housing with one of my friends and we both got placed in MoJo, so I’m assuming we got our placement as we wanted. What I’d say is you’re probably gonna have to wait a couple weeks or so, but you should definitely get that info before the move in info comes.
@an24776 Thanks for the help!
Yep, sometime between now and the last two or so weeks before moving in, you’ll get another email (I can’t remember exactly how it works but the PDF will either be attached to the email or you’ll be able to login to your housing account to see it) with your room number and dimensions, official address, and the name of your roommate.
They told us at orientation that housing assignment comes first (usually). It was explained that when housing requests are submitted, a random numbering system is generated and assignments are issued in that order.
Second: roommate assignments come out early August.
Third:, shortly after that, you will be notified to sign up for move-in times during a live registration system.
Found it interesting that most incoming freshmen (I think the number was somewhere between 70-80%) choose to room blind. Turns out there is an after-market of room swaps that exists between students and that most swaps occur between rooms in the same building as students get to know each other.
