<p>Are roommates chosen randomly by Penn? Or do we fill out a questionnaire that matches students together? Or can you choose your own roommate?</p>
<p>i think if you request a roommate, and that person chooses their top choices of dorms in the same order as you, then you guys will get placed together. other than that, i think they match students together (possibly off your application, or maybe a questionnaire im not sure) and they said that they have great success in matching up students who are alike</p>
