<p>Is there a way for incoming freshman to find/choose a roommate or does Rochester housing match them up?</p>
<p>Rochester will match you up unless you request someone specific. If you know who you want to room with, you can indicate that on your housing form, and as long as the roommate puts your name on his/her form, they will put you in a room together. You have to BOTH indicate it on your forms. </p>
<p>Join the Rochester class of 2015 facebook page - last year’s incoming freshmen put their own housing surveys up and found compatible roommates that way. My son found an incredibly compatible roommate that way - they are close friends and will room together next year also.</p>
<p>UR believes random roommates work as well as any other system. I agree.</p>
