Do Not Use Each Other's Things Without Asking. Not using each other's things without asking is one of the more obvious roommate rules. While some people are more casual about sharing, others are not. You have to learn what kind of person your roommate is and then act ingly.
If you would like to share your room with a specific person, you will need to indicate your roommate preference. Students can submit a roommate request, and once approved, they will be paired together.
A roommate arrangement is when multiple adults occupy a single unit together. In most cases, the renters are not related, but siblings and cousins can be roommates as well. With a traditional roommate arrangement, all roommates share a single lease.
A Roommate Agreement is a written contract between roommates that outlines their rights and obligations while living together. This agreement includes house rules, maintenance duties, restricted behaviors, and more. For a Roommate Agreement to be useful, everyone sharing the household must agree to it.

Students get an opportunity to request specific housemates before the room assignment process takes place. This is an optional step in the application process. All housemate requests are submitted in the StarRez Portal for the session you are applying for.
If you already have a roommate or roommate group in mind, you have the option to “join a group” by searching for that group name or by UT EID to request a specific student. Many students opt for a random roommate assignment (the “potluck” option).
Selecting a Roommate Roughly half of the students living on campus select a preferred roommate. Select a preferred roommate in your housing portal after you have a completed housing contract. Create a roommate group and invite your preferred roommate to the group. You will need your preferred roommate's UT EID.

UTA Housing makes every attempt to pair students that wish to room together, however roommate options are not guaranteed as availability, contracting, and other factors may effect roommate selection. Students use the UTA Housing Portal to select roommates.
