As an incoming freshman can I choose a current student as my roommate?

Tue, 15 May 2012 15:47:00 GMT

�Incoming freshman and transfer students�can only request other incoming freshman and transfers on their new student preference form in solar.

I have a friend with whom I would like to live with, Is it guaranteed that we will be roommates?

Tue, 15 May 2012 15:43:00 GMT

�

Campus Residences does its best to honor roommate requests but they are�not guaranteed. Current residents renew their housing agreements each spring. New students are assigned after current residents select their space,�a process which�frequently leaves few bedrooms fully vacant . To maximize the possibility of being assigned with your preferred roommate, make sure that each of you lists each other as your desired roommate on your New Students Preferences form.

How are you placed into a undergraduate college?

Thu, 03 May 2012 15:23:00 GMT

You are placed in a undergraduate college based on the answers you fill out in the New Student Preference Form. It is not based on your major and you may not change your New Student Preference Form once it is submitted. Your undergraduate college will determine what Quad you are placed in for your freshman year. You must remain in your Quad your entire freshman year.
