Freshman Rooming Search & Problems?

So housing is due in a week, however every potential roommate that asked me to room,etc. ended up backing out when they found out I was gay.

I really don’t want to do random in case I get people just as close-minded, but at the same time - I’m probably not going to have a roommate by May 7th.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to other ways to find roommates or experiences with going random and the process itself? I heard going in with a roommate increases your chances of being on North Campus? not sure if that’s true though.

I’m not sure which step I should take given that I have only a week left. Thank you in advance!

You may want to post on the College Life section as the school has little to do with your question.

By the way, having a roommate may put you at a lower priority for room assignment. Basically, they use the lower priority of the group.
