If you are planning on becoming roommates with your best friend in college, this is your time to revisit that decision or be sure you create strong boundaries with your friends to limit any tension or miscommunication. Always remember to think deeply before making any long term decisions like this one.
Many colleges have a matching system to pair you with your future roommate. If they do not, they might do it manually within their housing department. If you are going to an in-state college or going to a college with someone you know, you have the opportunity to choose your future roommate if you so wish.
First-Year Housing These function as different neighborhoods, or clusters of dorms, where you'll live. From there, the Resident Dean of First-Year Students for your assigned yard will carefully read through every roommate application and make pairings based off of student preferences.
Whether you can choose your roommate depends on the college you're attending. Many schools allow students to choose their own roommates or request roommates before the start of the term. Some colleges, however, may assign roommates to all first-year students.
Questions to Ask When Searching for a Roommate What's your sleeping schedule like? ... Are you messy or clean? How often do you like to clean? How will cleaning be shared? At what temperature do you like to keep the room and/or apartment? Are you okay with sharing/borrowing clothes, food, etc.?
First-year students traditionally reside in two facilities: Esseff Hall for women, and Holy Cross Hall for men. The majority of the rooms available are double occupancy, but students can apply for single rooms if they are available.
After letting the college know you want on-campus housing, the school assigns you a room in a dorm or residence hall. Along with your room assignment, the school lets you know the names of your roommate(s) and the official move-in date.
Accommodation is normally provided for 39 weeks for undergraduates (the standard three terms plus the start of the summer vacation) and for 50 weeks and 4 days for postgraduates. In both catered and self-catered halls, the offer includes residence for Christmas and Easter vacations.
If you have a fixed term agreement and for some reason you want to move out of halls before the end of the fixed term, you can only end the agreement early if: there is a term in your agreement, known as a break clause, which allows you to end the agreement early.
