Roommates

Who you choose to live with significantly impacts your off-campus experience. The tools and resources below are designed to assist you in finding compatible roommates and maintaining open communication.

Finding a Roommate

Using the Off-Campus Roommate Finder

To get started, create a roommate profile on the Off-Campus Housing Website Roommate Finder.

Once you have created your own profile, you will be able to view other profiles and filter by social habits, gender identity, whether or not they already have a place, graduation year, and more. 

Things to Consider

While your best friend might seem like an obvious choice, be sure that you have considered the challenges that living in close quarters will bring. Living together can sometimes strain friendships, especially if you disagree about cleanliness, parties, guests, paying bills, or expectations of each other.

Check out the guide below for some questions to ask yourself and potential roommates as you start your search.
