[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have loved so much of the W&M onboarding process, but they've moved to a "idk find a roommate on Instagram?" model and it has added so much stress to my kid's summer. After years of me talking about how "personal" W&M is, this feels like a giant step backward, and I hope they go back to an "assigned roommates based on surveys" model for the future.[/quote]

That’s still an option but is sooooo poorly communicated that my DD had zero idea this was even a thing before she put herself through the forced awkwardness of navigating the Instagram madness. It was truly painful yet had a (hopefully) positive outcome.
Definitely would have preferred a model where they just assign you based on a rooommate habits survey because the way they do it now makes it feel like almost no one waits to have the school match them. At least for the girls.
And that may not even be accurate but it is so underpublicized that this is even an option so the girls end up panic-scrambling to find someone.[/quote]
