[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine is looking for a roommate b/c that approach gives the student the feeling of being more in control.  The reason this matters is their school has two options for rooms - pick your own* or be randomly assigned.  There are two dorms on a separate campus and "it's fine and freshman end up being really close", but then people also tell you to try to get on main campus.  So...... It gets nerve-wracking thinking that random assignment means being on the bussed campus.

*Caveat - Pick your own doesn't guarantee there will be rooms available in the more desirable dorms, but this is new this year, so there is a lot of unknowns about the process.

Everyone knows you're talking about Umich btw.

My son went random (but filled out questionnaire) last year as a Umich freshman and got a gem of a roommate (on central campus, but they were both in a learning community). Agreed that the new process for fall 2025 has a lot of unknowns. My guess is that they're getting a head start on the process of however they plan to do things for fall 2026 when the new dorms open.[/quote]

Well, not everyone knew before.  :p

I've tried to convince DC to join a learning community, but I'm not getting too far.  Any chance he was in MRAD?  [/quote]
