Frequently Asked Questions
Do I get to choose my own room?
When creating a house application, you can choose preferences and rank
them. You can also name a
roommate if you know with whom you'd like to be placed. Our system will
take your requests into consideration when creating a room assignment
for you. However, you aren't guaranteed any specific room or roommate.
What do I do if I don't know my desired roommate's student ID number?
You can enter a student's name at the time you create the reservation,
but you need to supply the roommate's student ID at some point before
the room assignments are made. You can use the 'Change' feature within
the online application to change your reservation and provide
additional information at a later time.
