[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you know if  scholarship winners can request to room with an other merit scholar?  My DC does not know anyone but is concerned that he could get assigned a roommate who is more social and less serious about studying.  I am not saying this to brag.  he didn't get this attitude form me.  He drives himself and often studies until midnight or even later.[/quote]
Does your kid have a Facebook? Just have him search "University of Miami Class of 2020" and the page is mostly kids mostly "profiles" of themselves, ie "I'm John from Timbuktu, Mali and I plan to study bowling alley management. I'm a morning person and not a huge partier." From there, your kid can message others that seem like a good fit (or post about himself), and they'll get to talking to see if they should go ahead and room together.

Also, don't necessarily think that kids who get merit scholarships aren't partiers, or vice versa. There are tons of "work hard play hard types" in college.[/quote]
Yes, this. The kids all check each other out on fb and ask questions to select roommates they think are best suited for them. [/quote]
