<p>Is roomate information posted online before it is sent out by mail? If yes, where can we find this information online?</p>
<p>On August 1st, you should be able to click a link at the bottom, log in using your uniqname, and get your roommates name/contact info along with room # and dimensions.</p>
<p>How are room assignments made? I never filled out a questionnaire thingy about matching roomates . . .</p>
<p>^ Welcome to the University of Michigan, where.... they just don't care! ;)</p>
<p>Haha ok. I was wondering about how they made assignments . . .</p>
<p>Randomly...</p>
<p>they say randomly.. but i can't seem to understand how so many asian people get paired together with other asian people.. haha.</p>
<p>anyways, i got an email telling me to log-in to access my roommate info. maybe you guys got it too?</p>
<p>sheer volume of asian people</p>
<p>^ hahaha
In my dorm last year it seemed like some halls had almost no minorities and other halls almost no white people. A little strange but I'll assume it was a coincidence. It would be weird for a school that prides itself on diversity to intentionally do such a thing.</p>
<p>Good luck with getting an agreeable roommate.</p>
<p>My korean friend, living in a triple, ended up with 2 other korean roommates. Coiencedence?</p>
<p>I guess things have changed since the good old days. When I was at Michigan, my 4 friends were paired with people of completely different background. My Indian friend was paired with an African American, my Pakistani friend with a Russian, my Lebanese friend with a Chinese American and my other Indian friend with a caucasian American.</p>
<p>niihla10, i don't think it's a coincidence at all. it happens at most schools. i'd say 80% of my korean friends were paired with korean roommates freshman year, 15% of them were paired with a different asian roommate (chinese, taiwanese, etc), and only 5% were paired with a roommate from a different descent.</p>
<p>colleges say they don't do it on purpose, but i don't believe them -_-</p>
<p>Nah, there was a triple in our dorm with a black guy, a white guy and a korean guy.</p>
<p>Room assignments are up now. I'm in Markley - Van Tyne House</p>
<p>4th floor Hunt House in South Quad</p>
<p>Rumsey House in West Quad</p>
<p>Are roommates supposed to be up also?</p>
<p>Its on the same page with the room assignment.</p>
<p>Well since this website is berating me about not posting, which seems ridiculous, I got my contract today as well. Cambridge House single (I'm a sophomore transfer student, and one who is VERY happy about his rooming assignment, as it could very well have been Oxford House). My real reason for posting is this: do any current UofM students know where the nearest gym is with respect to Cambridge House/West Quad? The info is probably available online, but I'm lazy and trying to kill two birds with one stone. Thanks.</p>
<p>Also, if anyone knows of any other cool near-by Cambridge House/West Quad assetts that are not otherwise obvious, like the premo-ice machines that are so highly touted, I would appreciate that.</p>
<p>How do I find out what floor I'm on? I'm in Taylor House in South Quad.</p>
