It's entirely possible you may already be coming to school with friends or acquaintances who you've agreed to rent an apartment with but that isn't always the case. Don't worry. Many apartment communities you'll be considering as a freshman offer roommate matching services to help place you with compatible roommates. Methods vary but typically, you'll complete a profile and be matched with roommates who share similar interests and habits. We've heard plenty of stories of students meeting lifelong friends so keep and open mind and get ready to have fun!
