<p>How does the housing lottery work if I requested a roommate? Do we both get the same number or do we both have to get placed in the same unit before getting paired? What are the chances of us rooming together?</p>
<p>The chances are fairly high, I imagine, as long as you don't request and get hard to get housing . . . although you might get it then. I don't know if they tell people exactly how it works, maybe they do.</p>
