Incoming freshmen can select one roommate in their myHousing portal, if they choose. Students who do not select a roommate will still have one or more through either staff assignment or room selection. Information about freshman roommate deadlines will be provided in early 2026.
Forming a Roommate Pair
Admitted students who have completed their housing applications have access to search for and/or confirm a roommate. More information regarding roommates will be emailed to students with a housing application later this fall. Incoming freshmen can form a roommate pair with one other person, for a total of two people in their pair. If students find a roommate and want to form a roommate pair, they will do so in their myHousing portal by following these steps:
- Log into the myHousing portal
- Click on myRoomie
- Click on “Go to the Roommate Group Section”
- Click on “Create Group”
- Enter your intended roommate’s first and last name
- Click on “Invite”
Participating in online room selection does not guarantee your choice of a specific residence hall, room type or roommate. For students who applied for housing after Feb. 2, HRC staff consider building preferences as listed on the application and prioritize assigning roommates together, as space permits. However, we cannot guarantee any building, room type or roommate.
