<p>Is there any specific websites that you could search for roommates online?</p>
<p>You either know who your roommate is or it is chosen randomly. If you KNOW who you want to room with, you would list their name/id (i’m not sure which) in your housing app. There is no going around and searching for people…</p>
<p>The only way to choose roommates is that you and the person you want to room with have to select the same room configurations on your housing apps, and then name each other in the potential roommate grid on the application form.</p>
<p>If you are an incoming freshman, you can look on the UC Berkeley-Class of 2014 (Official Group) or Class of 2014 at UC Berkeley groups on Facebook. There are a lot of threads and posts of people looking for roommates. You might find someone you like and want to room with and then you just request each other on your housing application.</p>
