ROOMMATE ASSIGNMENTS • Students can request a specific roommate of the same gender. • While consideration is given to a roommate request, it may not be possible to grant requests received after June 1.

Roommates • Living with roommates isn’t always easy. • Sharing a living space may be stressful, and conflicts may arise. • If conflict arises, residents are expected to handle situations regarding roommates maturely and respectfully. • However, if roommates are unable to resolve their differences, the Housing and Residence Life Staff are trained to assist them with finding a fair resolution utilizing our mediation process.
