<p>Does anyone know when boarding school students get information about roommates?</p>
<p>I was wondering the same… any help??? :(</p>
<p>Mine says we get our roomates around mid-august</p>
<p>Some schools don’t tell you until you arrive!</p>
<p>@Cafe23… do you mind telling which school?</p>
<p>I won’t know until registration day.</p>
<p>My school puts it on the portal by August 1st</p>
<p>Smiley, how do you know that?? </p>
<p>I thought NMH would notify us before the RD</p>
<p>I won’t know until halfway through my first day, but I think a lot of schools put you in touch with your roommate over the summer.</p>
<p>Mexstudent-That’s what most of the girls were telling us during envision day. However, the case may be different for international students so I’m not quite sure :/</p>
<p>Uh, hopefully, I dont want to wait until august :(</p>
<p>Do we fill out a survey for it so they match us up?</p>
<p>I know that the summer before ChoatieKid’s freshman year, he filled out a roommate survey online, but didn’t know the result until he stood in front of his door at move-in. (He indicated that he preferred to room alone and did, indeed, get a single.)</p>
<p>Nobody asked me if I wanted a room alone 
(Which I Would Love)</p>
<p>@Molliewithane NMH made me fill an online Roommate Questionnaire, Im not sure about other schools</p>
<p>@mexstudent Kent school
They also made me do a roomate questionaire. I think they match people up by that. I also heard that international student get match up with a domestic student.</p>
<p>Thank you everyone! Good luck with school.</p>
<p>Please note that there’s always a Honeymoon Phase with a new roommate and sometimes it doesn’t last. It’s not uncommon for Musical Rooms to take place during the first month or so. The important thing is not to take it personally or let it overshadow everything else. </p>
<p>If you’re unhappy with your new roommate give it some time and talk to the Dorm Parent. Don’t talk about your unhappiness with everyone or anyone who will listen because nothing good will ever come from that. Let the school help resolve it between you and the other person. I’ve seen kids resolve issues on their own, make a bad situation better, and go on to room with each other for three more years. I’ve also seen kids become best friends once they weren’t roommates anymore- so anything can happen! Just try to be open and flexible and you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>Another important thing is to keep your expectations in check and remember: not every roommate situation will be made in heaven. Prepare yourself for someone less than ideal and chances are you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Good luck!!</p>
