@PengsPhils - I don’t know if you would know the answer to this… but the Co-op Connections LLC for “Women in Engineering” includes links on its page to both the engineering school and CCIS. Does this mean that CompSci women are also welcome there?
There are no LLC restrictions - a Philosophy major could also pick the Co-op Connections LLC. The link does imply that you would find a decent number of students from the particular college in it, though.
This is kind of out of nowhere, but I’ve been looking around and I can definitely see why having a randomly selected roommate is the way to go. Looking on the Facebook page and looking at sites that match you with roommates, a lot of the things that people are sharing seem kind of…shallow? Not only do you have people writing like they’re trying to sell themselves in some way, but I don’t see why knowing that you’re just like every other human being on the planet (you enjoy travel, you like to have fun, and you like netflix) is all that important.
Idk, I can see the mindset being something like…You expect to be best friends with this person because you both like Harry Potter and swimming, and then you finally meet and live together and you realize that they’re the most insufferable human being alive. If you’re randomly matched with someone, your expectations aren’t that high.
LOL, @Bozusaki - this is why matching processes based on well-crafted questionnaires are often the best bet. Because people who haven’t done this before are often 1) still stuck in the college application process of compulsively selling themselves and 2) unclear on the concept that identity markers are a whole lot less important than seemingly-pedestrian preferences like “I fall asleep by 11PM” and “hygiene is good.” 
10/10 recommend going random. They have a 98% success rate matching roommates and I don’t know anyone who is unhappy with their roommate who went random (myself included). On the contrary, I know many who matched themselves via Facebook and wish they didn’t.
Somewhere here on CC there was a link to a study done by some big Midwestern university. They found that the students most likely to request a roommate change were students who requested and received a specific roommate, often their friend from high school. The next most likely group to want to change roommates were those matched through a compatibility algorithm. Those least likely to request a roommate change were roommates matched randomly.
