<p>I am a bit confused on the roommate issue. On the Villanova site it says that you can not pick a roommate freshman year. Yet, on some of these discussion boards people are saying that they are picking freshman roommates. I called and spoke with someone in Residence Life and they said that freshman can't pick their roommates. Can anyone clarify what the policy really is?</p>
<p>During Candidate’s Weekend they indicated you could pick your roommate if you met someone or knew someone. Someone specifically asked this during the Q&A, so unless someone misspoke… I think I will call next week and ask. I’ll tell them what we heard at CW and see what they say. If I learn anything, I will post it.</p>
<p>Thanks mangotree…I really appreciate it:)</p>
<p>If you have a particular roommate that you want, you can name them on NOVASIS. If you both name each other, they’ll room you together. Otherwise, they assign you semi-randomly (they respect your preferences such as non-smoking, when you go to bed, etc.)</p>
