Roommate question

<p>So I just got accepted to UF and I’m planning on rooming random for the summer/fall I was wondering how you went about that? like does UF just place you completely randomly or do you fill out a questionnaire? I also know other colleges do like a facebook type thing where you find a random roommate?
Just wondering about the process! Any replies will be greatly appreciated :)</p>

<p>Nope it is completely random! If you don’t put in any request, Housing puts one for you! </p>

<p>Be warned though, you never know who you are going to get…</p>

<p>that’s why i’m a little nervous…I guess if I just do random for summer i’ll probably make a friend I can room with in the fall? Or do I have to do housing for both semesters at the same time?</p>

<p>No, Summer is different from Fall</p>

<p>I had 3 random room mates for Summer B and they were alright (a little too fratty though) , but my Fall room mates were awesome!</p>

<p>Although one of them did leave and we got a random one that is totally weird and we can’t stand it. So just take my exp into consideration.</p>

<p>Take a random room mate with a grain of salt as they can be your new best friend, or a room mate from hell. It’s a good exp to try though! So go for it!</p>

<p>ufchance- I found a facebook page for the class of 2016 which would be the entering freshman in the fall of 2012. I don’t know anyone else who is going to UF Fall of 2012 so I was going to try to meet people on there if possible. Have you found another page or anything else?</p>

<p>Mine will be random for summer and fall, so I’m a little nervous!</p>

<p>I’m doing on campus housing for summer B as a transfer, I really hope I get some cool friendly roomates that like to have fun :slight_smile:
My friends at my current university live on campus and I’ve heard horror stories about cleptos and anti-social awkward prudes :S
<em>fingers crossed</em> lol</p>
