Hi everyone! Just wondering how y’all are going about finding roommates? I’ve been talking to some people but I haven’t found anyone I really like yet, but I’m nervous to just do random selection. Any advice?
I’m curious about this too. My son is interested in attending, but do not like the random method. The other schools he has applied to had him feel out a questionnaire and then sent him a list of possible roommates to contact.
I know someone who attends SMU and she said that she filled out a questionnaire to be matched with a roommate.
My daughter is a freshman and she met her (now) roommate at the accepted students day in March. There should also be a Facebook group - I heard a lot of kids at AARO talking about meeting roommates that way.
My son is in his first year at SMU. There is a questionnaire that helps you identify other similar students. From there, you are able to contact the student to see if you are a good match. My son found his roommate this way and they get along great.
I think there is a Facebook page for all of the admitted students. They will use that to find roommates. Search for SMU Class of 2022. Looks like two sites got started accidently; join the one with more members. Hopefully someone will shut the other one down.
Actually, I can’t tell which one is official. I would join both.
There is a link to the official facebook page in your portal. Although that seems to be the “official” page with the less followers.
