Roommate Survey

<p>To fellow Class of 13ers: in the large acceptance envelope, I received the financial aid offer, the acceptance letter, and two small booklets, along with a survey. I did not, however, receive the roommate/interests and hobbies survey alluded to in the FAQs on the college website. Was this an elision, or will that arrive soon?</p>

<p>I think I read that we will get it/it will be online after they get all the deposits in.</p>

<p>You’ll receive forms in a series of three paper mailings plus weekly e-mails, but they’re also listed at [Carleton</a> College: Information for New Students: Checklist](<a href=“http://apps.carleton.edu/student/new/mailings/]Carleton”>http://apps.carleton.edu/student/new/mailings/)</p>

<p>The roomate questionaire is in the first mailing that’ll be in mid-May</p>

<p>For what it’s worth, my daughter went through the roommate questionnaire process two years ago. While she was very detailed in answering questions about herself and what she’d like in a roommate, Carleton ended up putting her with her polar opposite in almost every possible way–night-owl vs. morning person, liberal vs. very conservative, extremely religious vs. secular, etc. We never could figure out whether this was intentional in a contrarian sort of way… or whether they simply chose to ignore the questionnaire results. Either way, it turned out not to be a bad thing at all–though they chose NOT to room together this year. :)</p>

<p>So weird…I actually had a dream last night that we all went to Carleton to get our room/roommate assignments and move our stuff in, even though it was definitely still May of this year.</p>

<p>I think I was in a triple in Myers (FYI, Myers doesn’t have triples…:)).</p>

<p>petrosbasileus, just out of curiousity, did you end up choosing carleton?</p>

<p>Roommate survey completed by S two years ago had him rooming with a GREAT match. Rooming together this year with plans to do so next year. While some differences, temperment and personalities were very similar and worked out beautifully.</p>

<p>Yeah, Shempi, I did settle on Carleton. Thanks for all of the replies again; I guess I’ll be getting that questionnaire soon enough.</p>

<p>congrats! way to base your decision on fit rather than prestige.</p>
