Roommates and Housing

Hi, everyone,

I’m in the 2022 UCLA Facebook group, and it’s kinda scaring me. All of these people…yet I can’t seem to find the nerdy, quirky kids. The ones who like anime and things like that. While I know that there has to be people like that out there (I mean, look at UCLA’s anime club!), I’m kinda worried that my roommate and I will be completely different.

Current UCLA students, is this the case? Do you have similar likes as your roommate?

If no, where do you usually meet friends?

Complete different might be okay too. You do your thing, they do their things, you all sleep at night.

So? Housing is not in the business of assigning friends, they are assigning housing. All that matters is that all roommates treat each other with courtesy and respect. You can find friends to room with soph+ year your 1st year on campus.

More people will post after bruin day! Random is fine but even if you aren’t best friends with your roommate usually you can coexist. But I would encourage you to keep trying to find a roommate. I found mine on the fb group and it worked out great. But yes usually the more outgoing ones will post this early.
