<p>So today, I got the info in the mail that says who my roommate is gonna be. I facebook him, and after several searches, I finally track him down (his name has 4 parts). I add him as a friend, and I also send him a message that tells him that I am his roommate. </p>

<p>So all went well, right? WRONG!. After sending him the message, I notice that this guy already has over 100 friends on facebook who are on the UCSC network. This seemed odd to me, since technically he wasn't attending yet. So, I checked his UCSC email address listed on his facebook profile with the UCSC email address provided to me by UCSC, and sure enough, they were 2 different people! This was one awkward way to start the college 'journey'.</p>

<p>It is possible that there are two people at UCSC with the same first AND last name...</p>

3

<p>ugh.. they messed up on my roommates too</p>

4

<p>haha. what are the odds?!?!</p>

5

<p>at the way things are going... pretty likely</p>

6

<p>Is it possible to request a certain roommate?</p>

7

<p>Yes it is, but they need to request you too. You will only be put together if you both make the same request.</p>

<p>I just recently turned in my acceptance of admission to UCSC along with which I paid the fee, and listed my college choices.</p>

<p>It was an 8 step process but none of those steps included a survey of what kind of room (single, double, triple) you want to be in or questions like music preference, tidiness, the usual roommate match-up kind of questions, etc...</p>

<p>When do we get to answer those kinds of questions (pick our type of room, answer roommate questions)? Once they've already assigned us a college? So mid-May??? or when?</p>

<p>can you request a roomate of certain race? lol</p>
