Hi. I’m going to be in Warren next year. As a there are almost no doubles, I was wondering if I could request one roomate even if I’m living in a triple. Can I request one roomate and they will assign me a second random one?
I don’t see why not.
When I was a freshman, we were told that if you only requested one person that you would be put in a double with them or you would be put in a triple without them. They would not put two students who knew each other in a triple with a third random roommate.
But that was about six years ago now, so it may have changed. The only way to know is to ask housing.
Yes, I did this last year in Revelle without any issues. Many people do.
Or leave it up to luck and you may meet the next GoPro guy.
