<p>Even though my friend from school and I both did random roommates, we somehow got assigned to be roommates. He is in Michigan right now for summer session, so he's going to the Housing Office to see what he can do. While we are very good friends, we both wanted to room with someone we didn't know. Do you think they'll let us room with other people, or are the roommate assignments set in stone until the Fall?</p>
<p>I think you have to find someone to swap rooms with you. Your friend will get the scoop from the housing office, and that kind of info is also posted on the housing website.</p>
<p>Idk, but I’d be really happy if I got to be roommates with an old friend o_O Just wondering, is it possible to choose your roommate if both you and a friend agree? Or is it always random no matter what?</p>
<p>I actually think it is a good thing that they want to make new friends. That’s the college experience.</p>
<p>That’s true. I guess I’d just be happy to be roommates with a friend so that I’d start out with a friend, and we could eventually meet new people together. Anyways, good luck switching =]</p>
<p>And anyone know the answer to my last question? Me and a friend have been saying that if we both get in to U of M, we would try to be roommates o_O Is it easy to pick your roommate, or is it always random no matter what?</p>
<p>Thanks, and good luck aajjc!</p>
<p>If you request each other they will try to place you together, yes. When you go to apply you should get ample information about how to do that, I can’t remember off the top of my head but I know I’ve read about it about a hundred times and I wasn’t even looking for it.</p>
<p>Does this mean that the room mate assignments are out? Where do you find who your room mate is? Is it somewhere on Wolverine Access?</p>
<p>Room assignments are on the Housing website right now, and you should have gotten an e-mail in your Michigan account linking you to the page. Also, just as an update, only my friend is trying to switch, because I’m perfectly content with my dorm and its location, and he feels a little more strongly about switching than I do. I’ll give updates if you guys want on my roommate status.</p>
<p>Oh that must be horrible. I know two seniors who got accepted into University of Michigan, use to be best friends and hate that they both are attending the same university. I wonder if they will get paired up ( not good).</p>
<p>I said I’d update you all on my roommate fiasco, so I wanted to let you all know that I actually was the one who ended up switching…into Markley! My friend, who’s currently at Michigan for the summer session, found another summer session guy with whom he wanted to live. So I am now living with his friend’s roommate. I’m so relieved that the switch worked out and I believe that my friend from high school and I will have a better chance of remaining friends now that we’re not living with each other.</p>
<p>lol (10 char)</p>
