[quote=Anonymous]DS is going to Virginia Tech. In their virtual open house, the residential life people said about half of students pick roommates in advance via social media or just friends from home. But the other half pick during room selection. That could be completely out of your hands, by selecting an empty room and seeing you chooses to take the other spot in that room, checking the profile of other students in a room/suite and deciding if you want to room with them, or searching the roommate database to find a potential roommate who you then email to ask about matching up. From comments on the parent Facebook group, going random/using the school roommate info is much more common with the boys.DS had zero interest in using social media to find a roommate so selected a suite that already had two people in it who seemed a good match based on profiles. He's done summer programs in the past with completely random roommates and it was fine so he's not concerned about it.[/quote]
