So me and my best friend were just accepted to NYU, me Steinhardt and she LSP. We really want to become roommates together during college, so we poked around on NYU’s website and came to the info that we can’t actually request roommates for freshman. Is there any exception for that? Thanks.
Nope! NYU assigns your freshman roommate(s). You can choose your roommate for sophomore year on.
FYI they explained on the tour that they specifically don’t allow people to choose to get people to meet diverse students. You will be paired with someone who matches your profile re habits etc but comes from a different geographic location.
Congratulations on your acceptances by the way.
You could try to be on the same floor, however, by applying to a FYRE–a themed floor for first-years.
