Living with a roommate is one of the defining experiences
in a student’s college career. You will learn shared
responsibility, conflict resolution, compromise, flexibility, and in many
cases, you will be exposed
to a diverse population. This is a once in a lifetime chance
to live in an academic environment and take advantage of all the opportunities
on-campus
living provides. Friendships blossom everyday in
our residence halls, and this is one of the ways that Emory’s community
spirit is reinforced.
Please note that housing policy requires that roommates and suitemates
be of the same gender. You do not have to have a roommate
to apply for
housing but be aware that if you are assigned to a double
(or larger) space, you will have a roommate(s) assigned
with you.
Please
make careful note of the following information regarding
how the housing system reads roommate requests:
• An "unmatched" roommate request (you have requested a person but they have not requested you)
will hinder your ability to be able to select a room;
please make sure any roommate requests you make are
mutual or cleared from your roommate
request page on MyHousing.
• Multiple roommate requests (mutual or not) may also
hinder your ability to search for and select housing.
Example: if you have three mutual requests on your MyHousing
page, when it is time for you to
select a room, the system will only show you spaces for
four people (you and your three matched roommates). To
see other openings, you would have
to either drop or add roommates.
