Q: What is the process for assigning roommates?
A: If a student knows someone
he or she would like to room with, they can request each other as roommates at
myroom.ju.edu. Students who do not have confirmed roommates at the time
of assignment will randomly be assigned a roommate.
Q: How is roommate compatability determined?
A: We randomly
assign roommates. Several studies have shown no difference in roommate
satisfaction between students who are assigned at random versus students who are
assigned based on personality preferences.
