<p>generally, how are roommates paired together? Is there a survey sent out with the housing apps?</p>
<p>Nope, no survey, it's pretty much random unless you both specify that you would like to be roommates. The only question they ask on the housing survey is whether or not you smoke or would mind living in a dorm without air conditioning (it's really not that bad at all).</p>
<p>I don't think a simple survey could accurately predict whether or not you will be compatible with someone to the point of living with them for several months only based on a few questions. It usually works out very well and there are very few problems, mainly because most people here are fairly laid back and work long hours anyways.</p>
<p>We asked the dean of admissions the same thing and its just what nic said are you a smoker or not.....then its just random.</p>
