<p>Hi everyone! I just found out that your housing details were available to view online beginning yesterday. This includes your room number and roommate.</p>
<p>As I have seen a number of threads asking when we find out our roommates, I took the liberty of sharing this knowledge with the U-M 2015 CC community. :)</p>
<p>Here is how you do it:</p>
<p>1) Go to housing website Homepage</a> | University Housing</p>
<p>2) Scroll down until you see four different colored bubbles- "What's up on North Campus?" in orange; "Meal Plans 101" in green; "Outfitting your room" in yellow; and "Fall Move-In" in red,</p>
<p>3) Click on "Fall Move-In"</p>
<p>4) Notice that there are a lot of headings with multiple bullet hyperlinks underneath. Underneath the first heading "Moving Into Your U-M Room," find the bullet that reads "room and roommate information" (it should be the first bullet).</p>
<p>5) Click on it, and log in using uniqname and password. </p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>
<p>Oh crap! I missed that one haha. But I suppose mine is slightly more detailed, which is beneficial because for some reason, it took me the LONGEST time to find the stupid bubble that says Fall Move-In. Perhaps others will face similar problems and look to my post for guidance.</p>
<p>Anybody have any advice for those people who have found out their roommates, looked them up on facebook, and realized they have NOTHING in common with them/probably aren’t going to get along that well? I know you’re not supposed to judge people without meeting them and all that stuff, but sometimes… sometimes common sense just tells you that certain people aren’t really your perfect match friend-wise. I’ve been placed with 3 people in my suite that I think I probably am not going to have much common ground with, aren’t going to really be friends with, etc. I’m a junior transfer so I already have a pretty well-established friend base at UM so I’m not depending on roommates for friends, but still… I’m now dreading the prospect of living with these people. Any advice?</p>
<p>From my two years so far of having two different roommates who I have nothing in common with, I’ve learned that you don’t have to be friends with your roommates. Just be cordial and respectful towards one another. The aim’s not to become bff’s, but to coexist. If you become friends, that’s just an added bonus.</p>
<p>Advice to iloveumich: Try to be open minded. My best friend from college was a horrible roommate. I wouldn’t rely on your impressions from Facebook.</p>
<p>I know you should go in open minded but I have NOTHING in commen with my roommate, even after talking with her. I’m trying to do a room swap. iloveumich, are you a girl and where are you living? Maybe we could swap.</p>
<p>^My son thought the same thing, but then discovered that sometimes it’s actually easier to live with a roommate with whom you have nothing in common – so don’t sweat it!</p>
<p>You don’t have to like your roommate, you just have to respect one another.</p>
<p>I totally thought theyd email us I would have never figured out how to do that…</p>
<p>They did e-mail us, but this was the method to find out earlier. :)</p>
