Roommates

Students are able to request a specific roommate. If a specific and mutual roommate request is not received by the specified deadline, the Office of Residence Life compares interests and all other information given on the housing application in an attempt to place individuals with similar habits together in the building requested when possible. Every reasonable effort is made to honor available requests and preferences at the time of room placement.

For various reasons, students may at times be assigned to a room without a roommate. If adequate space is available on campus, students may be given the opportunity to pay an additional fee for a private room. If a student does not pay the additional fee and/or that option is not available, then the room shall be left in a condition that would allow another student to move in at any time. This means that a bed, desk, dresser, closet, etc. must remain clear for personal belongings at all times. Typically, advance notice is given to the occupant of the room if another student will be moving in; however, advance notice may not always be possible. Refusing a roommate and/or failure to keep the room “roommate ready” is prohibited.
