[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't most colleges at least make it an option?

DS is at VT and you can find a roommate via social media but if not, you fill out a roommate profile. When it's your time to pick a room, you can either pick an empty bed in a room and a future student can see your profile and choose the other bed. Or you can look at profiles of people in a room with an available bed and choose one of them. DS decided the easiest thing would be to pick the empty room. Ended up with a good roommate. They were friendly and compatible enough for that year but didn't keep in touch after that. [/quote]

OP and I should have specified that I’m looking for “mandatory random” as PP above called it. I think that “optional random” is more of a good option for boys than girls, unfortunately.  [/quote]

Probably true. My DS's mandatory random freshman roommate was a very bad fit but DS didn't really care and made plenty of friends. DD cared much more about being friends with her roommate and there always seemed to be awkwardness when they didn't click. [/quote]
