Once we are in, how do you get matched with your roommate? I have heard of people meeting through Facebook, or filling out forms with their living preferences and the college matching similar people up.I don’t have any social media and am wondering if this will negatively impact my experience…
Also, since honors students have separate housing, how does their “matching” process differ? Is honors housing completely exclusive, or could an honors student request a non honors student (like someone you already know) to live with them in the honors dorm?
Thanks for any insight!
Over the summer (or around then) the school will set you up with a Housing Portal. There, they will have you complete a survey about your lifestyle and that will help them match you up with a potential roommate. I did the process and got two random roommates, but if you want to choose your roommate, there should be a section on the Housing Portal application where you enter who you want to live with.
For the honors students, I don’t know how it works. But, I’m almost positive you will still have to complete the save lifestyle survey so the university can match you up with someone who will be a good fit. I don’t think a non honors student can live in an honors dorm.
Good luck!
