Roommate Questions

No, you do not need to have a roommate selected before room selection. When you have access to room selection in May, you will be able to see the name, major, age and smoking preferences of the student(s) already assigned to the room. You are able to select and change your room as many times as you’d like through July 1. If no roommate is assigned to your chosen room, you should be ready to accept a random roommate at any time.

If you are wanting to explore roommate options prior to selecting a room, we have a great resource within our Resident Portal called Room Sync. Visit the “Find a Roommate” link in the top left corner after signing in to the Resident Portal to create a profile linked through your Facebook account and get matched with roommate options. Once you find a preferred roommate, you will add each other’s Wildcat ID numbers to each of your contracts.

As long as you have mutually listed each other on your contract roommate preferences, the person with the earliest contract date will select a room for both of you. The system will automatically pull the confirmed roommate in with you.

There is limited information listed for the other student in the room. Once you click on the room, it will list their name, age, major, if they smoke or if they object to smoking. Once you select the room and are assigned with that person, you will be able to see their contact information. We always recommend contacting your new roommate before move-in to get to know them.

No, but we always recommend having them visually confirm their room assignment and meal plan. Meal plans can be changed on the Resident Portal through the "edit contract / dining dollars" link. You can also view your room assignment in the Resident Portal by visiting the "assignment information" link.

The 2x2 suites have two room numbers but are one whole suite selection based on the adjoining bathroom. Because of that, if you have three confirmed roommates, selecting a room will show you any 2x2s that are completely open and pull in all three confirmed roommates.
