<p>I requested a roommate through my student preferences on my solar account and know that it is not absolutely guaranteed but read somewhere that there is basically no chance that a freshman be placed in a room with someone they requested...is this true; should I basically totally discard of the idea that I'm rooming with the person that I requested or do we have a chance of rooming together?</p>
<p>Not necessarily. I remember that although I was tripled at first, one of my roommates was a friend.</p>
<p>Me and my friend requested each other and we both got placed in the same undergraduate college so there is a 50/50 chance that we are actually dorming together! It’s worth a shot xD</p>
