<p>Does Vandy pick our roommates or do we have to find our own via Facebook, MySpace, etc.?</p>
<p>Vandy will assign you a roommate unless you choose to specify your own. Lots of people used Facebook to make the selection process less random.</p>
<p>You can find your own through a networking site and request that person if you'd like, or if you want a random person then Vandy will assign you</p>
<p>if you find someone to room with (on facebook, through friends etc.), and both list the other's name on your housing form, they will place you together.</p>
<p>I would never pick someone over the Internet. Hopefully will get set up with a family friend.</p>
<p>From personal experience, my roommate and I have gotten along well and we picked each other from Facebook.
From my friends' experiences, random roommate selection can be hit or miss. Sometimes it works out great and sometimes terribly.</p>
<p>I picked my roommate from a facebook group that someone started where everyone was looking for roommates. I recommend it; you don't really know the person but at least its not completely random.</p>
