My daughter was accepted to USF starting in the fall. We are from NY and she will be living on campus. Does anyone know how students are matched with a roommate? Will a freshman be placed with an upperclassman? Thanks in advance.
I do not necessarily know how they match people, but I do know that a freshman will not be placed with an upperclassman (as far as I know). You are also asked to fill out a mini survey stating your preferences, like if you smoke, if you prefer the room cooler, if you enjoy staying up late, etc. They try to pair you up with a student with the same preferences, and it has worked out just fine for me.
