Roomate search

any advice on roommate search sites?

@HelenH Facebook…over 3500 students enrolled currently.

I’m wondering about this too. If you look at the Facebook page, it’s mainly female students (most of whom did not commit to PSU yet). Someone told my son that there is a roommate survey conducted by the school. Does anyone know anything about this?

@amach4 as far as I know PSU does not have a roommate survey. They pick randomly.

@amach4 There is no roommate matching done by Penn State - no surveys, nothing. It is either (A) random or (B) you put in a specific name (and they put your name in).

There is lots of time to find a roommate - lots of kids are just finding out their decisions now. Last year, there was a groupme of kids and they found roommates there. Another option is to see if there is someone at Accepted Student Day that you sit near and connect? I think many of the Accepted Student days are by college anyway.

You will have until May 15th (??? - double check that date) to put in a roommate request - if you go summer, you can make a fall roommate request in July also.

good luck.
