Those with the highest compatibility will come up first.

From this window, you will be able to add to a group, send a message, or view their profile.

If you do not know the person, it is suggested that the profile is reviewed and/or send a message.

Search by DETAILS: You may find someone by searching their screen name or net ID.

• This option works if you know someone or happen to come across someone that you like as a possible roommate and have that conversation with them, if they choose to share their information you will be able to look for them.

The roommate matching questions will be used to search for roommates based on what is most important to you. Make sure to prioritize subjects that are not non-negotiable to try and find the best match. Just remember that this is to help you find someone and that it might not match you 100% with someone but a 70% match might still work out, it is your decision to request them as roommates in this optional step.

Regardless of the method you use to find someone, please make sure that they are of the same classification. Only second years can live with second years and third-year plus with third-year plus. To see someone's classification, visit their profile. Groups that do not follow the classification rule might be deleted.

Once the group is complete it must be verified so that your group can be considered for the lottery.
