<p>when do people have to find a roommate if they want to room with someone specific by?</p>
<p>Specific requests are simply due by the housing deadline, there is no advanced deadline for them that I am aware of. Just make sure that both parties request each other on the housing application.</p>
<p>My son completed the online survey provided by TCU and was given a random roommate. It seemed most kids did that a couple years ago when my son started. His freshman roommate is his closest friend still today.</p>
