[quote=Anonymous]DC goes to a school that sounds, perhaps, like it has a hybrid approach -- you could literally pick your room. If someone else had signed up for it already, their profile and contact info was available. Or, if you had someone you knew you wanted to room with, you both just picked the same (empty) room. Or, if you wanted to take your chances, you just signed up in an empty room/slot.

DC went with the first option since they knew no one going in. Liked two different peoples' profiles, reached out to both, picked one and they've been a good match. So good, they'll end up in an off-campus apartment with two other now-mutual friends.

LOL, though, the &quot;profile&quot; questions were kinda short and DC struggled with how best to describe themselves in just a few (like &lt;20) words. Started off with &quot;Bookworm Band Kid&quot; and that seemed to be the winning combo. Roomie was HS valedictorian (not mentioned in profile and didn't find out til weeks into the semester!) who played sax. Woodwinds gotta stick together!

Others were not as lucky but DC would recommend (and I concur with) not rooming with a friend you already have. Those rarely survive.[/quote]
