Roommate Matching

Our roommate matching system helps you find a compatible living partner. After submitting your housing application, you'll complete a short questionnaire covering sleep habits, study preferences, and lifestyle. Our system will suggest compatible matches, or you can request a specific roommate if you already have someone in mind.

Roommate preferences are matched on a first-come, first-served basis. We recommend applying early for the best match.
