›› Be honest in your profile.

›› Use social media to check out a potential roommate.

›› Reach out to many potential roommates. Don’t be shy.

›› Meet in person or FaceTime – not just Snapchat or text messages.

›› Have realistic expectations. Getting along is more important than becoming best friends.

›› Best friends from high school don’t always make best roommates.

FINDAGREATROOMMATE:1. Log into your MyBLUE > Campus Tools > Housing > 2020-21 Residence Hall Contract > Your Profile for Roommate Matching.

• In the Description Box, type a paragraph about yourself. Use key words such as sports, music, video gamer, etc.

2. Go to Roommate Search and search in 3 ways: • Search Roommate by Details – Use keywords to search. OR – If you are interested only in a tower style room with a semi-

private bathroom, put in ‘tower style’. If you like the Mantor Randall type hall and want to find a roommate that is looking for that living environment, use those key words ‘Mantor Randall’.

OR – If you know who you want to room with, search by their name. • Search Roommate by Profile – Use roommate matching questions. • View Suggested Roommates – Best matches rise to the top.

3. Send a Message internally within the contract, then choose to share your Snapchat, TikTok, or phone number to continue the conversation!

4. Confirm your Requested Roommate.

Living on campus makes me

feel like I’m sharing a room

with a brother or a good

friend. My favorite thing

is being able to have good

resources near you.
