<p>does anyone know when incoming freshmen receive information about their roommates and housing?</p>
<p>Last year, we got our info in August - way later than any of my non-Swat friends! It was torture waiting for it. Maybe they'll step it up and do it earlier this year, but I somehow doubt it. That said, you're probably getting a great roommate match for your wait. :] I love my freshman roommate, and we're sticking together for our sophomore year.</p>
<p>Wow, I didn't realize we would be getting them so late. Haha- I was expecting them in a week or two. However, it's worth the wait if I get a roommate that I truly mesh with.</p>
<p>As a parent of a 2008 graduate, I can tell you the roommate assignment is done very carefully and my son stuck with his roommates all 4 years that he was there. That is not to say that he's shy or did not make new friends. But for the most part, they lived together and moved together.</p>
<p>yeah last year we got ours the first (or second?) week of august. They do do a very good job though i know most of my friends are either keeping the same roommate next year or are friendly/get along with them. me an dmy roommate get along great and will be rooming together next year, so they do a pretty good job</p>
