<p>ok, if i went to UMCP & chose to live in a dorm there, is there any way that I could choose my own roommate(if i knew someone was available)?</p>
<p>yea most likely... most colleges offer that option i assume...</p>
<p>UMCP definitely allows roommate selection. My daughter tells me this is still allowed. However, she has cast her lot with the auto-selection process based on 5 questions. It seems ridiculous that in this day of social networking there is not a site for room mate selection. I have not found it yet. Does anyone know of one?</p>
<p>You can mutually request a roommate. [University</a> of Maryland - Admitted Students - Housing and Meal Options](<a href=“http://www.admissions.umd.edu/admissions/admitted/housingmeals.asp]University”>http://www.admissions.umd.edu/admissions/admitted/housingmeals.asp)</p>
<p>asherms, there are facebook groups, etc. that incoming students set up, but I’m not sure you’d be assured of any better “luck” via matching from an online site vs. the “random” selection.</p>
