<p>I am in the process of submitting my housing application, but, I have not chosen a roommate yet. I will be a freshman from out of state, and I don't know anyone going to IU. How do I choose a roommate? If I submit my application without a roommate, will I still be able to request a particular roommate if I meet one?</p>
<p>You can change your housing application (neighborhood, roommate etc) until the deadline, whenever that is. Changing it will not change your place on the list for preferences though, as it depends on when you submitted your housing deposit, so change it as many times as you want.</p>
