<p>I'm not sure how my school will alert me. Or even if they will. But I know most find out by receiving an email from the school with your roommate's contact info. Also, when do schools usually send out the info?</p>
<p>It was mailed to me.</p>
<p>I got an email.</p>
<p>There was a mass email sent out with a link to a document explaining how to log into the housing interface. We were supposed to check it. But my roommate woke up long before me and had already emailed me to tell me she was my roommate and she didn’t have Facebook (though she’s since made one).</p>
<p>I got an email with a link to the housing website, with a list of roommates’ and suitemates’ contact information.</p>
<p>What PhantomVirgo said (since he attends the same university as me). My school usually sends them out on Aug. 31.</p>
<p>I thought they were going to email the info to my regular email account but then I found out that it was actually sent to my school email. So I had to set that up and then I got the email and it said to log into the housing website. It was a lot of hassle for me 'cause I wasn’t sure what login to use and then it said I had to do a bunch of stuff like sign the housing agreement. But then I got my assignment.</p>
<p>It just gave me my roommate’s school email. I guess I was supposed to contact her through that but I just ended up looking her up on Facebook and contacting her that way. I found my assignment a bit later than the rest of the students I met at orientation so I am curious to know whether my roommate got the assignment before I did and just didn’t contact me lol (maybe I’ll ask her).</p>
