Roommates?

As an incoming freshman, do new students get assigned a roommate? How does that work at CMU?

(The website states that it is better to find your own roommate. But, if you are a new student, how would you do that?)

You should get to know people on the 2019 admitted students Facebook group at https://www. facebook. com/ groups/ 726833420731363/

Or you can get randomly assigned as my D did.
