UCONN dorms and BRIDGE question

I will a freshman at UCONN 2016-2017. Can we pick our roommates in our freshman year?

It didn’t tell me to join the BRIDGE program in my admission letter but it did for a friend. I researched it after and I liked the program. Can I still join? and how much does it cost?

I also heard you get a 5K scholarship if you do go. how does that work?

My D has to attend the bridge program. It is $1,500. I believe you can apply for a $5,000 scholarship after you complete the bridge program but not every student will receive that scholarship. My D has been guaranteed a spot in the program because it’s a contingency of her getting into the engineering program. If you were not told you must attend, then you apply to the program and hope to get in. I don’t know anything about roommates though. Sorry! Hope this helped!

Yes you can select your roomate going into your freshman year, it will be part of the housing application that you must submit by sometime in late May.
