I’m completely stressed out. I didn’t pick a roommate. Now I’m supposed to pick a room during the assigned time. How does that mean I get a roommate? Do I look for a room with someone already in it? Please help!
@GTnewbie My son is in the same boat. As I understand, if you don’t have a roommate you will pick your dorm/floor/room and the person that picks or gets assigned that same roommate will be your roommate. So if you pick a room that already has someone in it they will be your roommate.
Please don’t worry. It will all work out. My son got a random roommate, and almost all GaTech freshman have random roommates. There is no reason to pick one early and it does not mean you will be friends with that person anyway. Find friends through clubs. Freshman year is a nine month experience, and you will meet lots of great people. Sharing a room for nine months with a stranger is part of what college is all about. All GaTech rooms are identical–two beds, two desks and two closets. It will go by very very quickly !
