<p>Im planning on attending Georgia Tech this fall and I know a lot of people are finding their roommates through Facebook or mutual friends. I was wondering would you recommend trying to find a roommate over Facebook or just filling out the detailed housing application and being as specific as possible and having tech match you up with a roommate. Thanks!</p>
<p>For guys, I feel like it won’t matter as much, but if you want to room with someone who you eventually want to become close friends with (and you’re not one of those tech boys staying indoors playing skyrim all day) then, I suggest finding your roommate on Facebook. Random roommate, generally, sucks from what I’ve heard. It’s a win-lose scenario. It’s up to you to take a chance or keep it safe, but IMO, I say no random roommate!</p>
