<p>So, the only questions my child didn't think to ask, and I am sort of newly concerned, here: The incoming freshman is responsible for finding a room-mate and selecting a dorm or Tufts is responsible for matching the incoming freshman to another freshman and dorm? If the student is responsible, how would that work, how would a new student know someone, or the dorm scenario, well enough to choose? And, if Tufts picks, is it a subjective matching or does a computer do the matching? And, if both options exists, which option do most incoming freshmen choose? Thank you.</p>
<p>If I am recalling correctly, post May 1, the students fill out a Housing Survey/Form and then the Residential Life Office matches up roommates and dorms. I don’t know if there was a place on the form to request a specific roommate as that was not something of interest to my child. </p>
