While there is no perfect method of matching roommates, such variables as personal habits, major, and hobbies are used to match roommates. If sharing a room is a new experience to you, adopt a positive attitude. Don't believe in the myth that roommates must be friends. It's not true. It is possible to have an excellent relationship with your roommate without having common interests or an abundance of togetherness.
Open communication is the key to any successful relationship.
Keep this important idea in mind as you approach sharing a room with another person. Room changes are allowed, but only after October 1st. However, a room change is the last option pursued only after roommates have made a sincere effort to adjust to differences. Please contact your RA and ARC to make arrangements for a new roommate.
