<p>How many people dont request a roomate? Does it normally work out well?</p>
<p>My son didn’t know anyone that was assigned to the dorm he was in so he just went pot luck and I turned out great. He had 2 other friends that were in 2 other dorms who both went pot luck as well and both of them also have great roommates.</p>
<p>My son also did not know any of his roommates - and they got along fine. He is now an upperclassman living off campus with friends he met in organizations he joined. But he has good memories of his freshman year - and no regrets.</p>
<p>Mine is trying to figure out if she should try and find someone or do random. The problem she’s seeing is that she signed up the very first day housing opened, so she is essentially first on the list. If she goes with someone else she is giving up her place in line. I have no idea how hard it is to get into the Quad, but this is a consideration.</p>
