If you wish to be available to other applicants searching for a roommate or to search for a roommate yourself, follow these steps:
- Log onto your MyHousing page and go to the Personal Preferences navigation link. At the top of that page is the Roommate Search Profile -- answer "No" in the first drop-down box to request that your profile is not private.
- Enter your contact preference (how a potential roommate should contact your) and you may complete the My Profile section by entering any information you wish to share about yourself or what you are looking for in a roommate. When complete, click Submit My Profile.
- You will see the Personal Preferences you entered on the application in the second part of this screen. Review your answers to make sure your responses accurately reflect your preferences.
- Under the Roommate Selection navigation, select Advanced Roommate Search. Here, you can indicate the attributes or preferences for the type of roommate you are searching. Once you have made your choices, click Begin Search at the bottom of the page and those students who most match your criteria will be displayed; you may read their information and decide whom you wish to contact.
- As a third- or fourth-year student, you may elect to live in Gender Neutral housing so you are eligible to search for and select a roommate of a different gender. If you do not wish to have different gender roommate matches returned, filter your search on gender.
Please note that more matches may be returned as more students apply; you may wish to search more than once.
