We at Residence Life strive to assign each individual a roommate that matches his/her lifestyle.  Much of the matching is based on student answers to an online survey that can be completed online.  You will be notified by the Office of Residence Life when the online survey is available for you to complete.   

The roommate selection process includes the following steps:

1. If you have a medical, psychological or other disability that requires special accommodation, your roommate and room assignment will be made to accommodate your special needs.

2. If you and another student (or students, for triple-sized rooms) have requested each other as roommates, we do everything possible to insure that you are placed together.  Placement with your requested roommate will always take precedence over room type request. 

3. For students who have not pre-selected a roommate, the Office of Residence Life will match roommates, based upon the responses to the "lifestyle questions" on the online survey on My Southeast.  Almost all of our students allow the Office of Residence Life to make roommate choices - and we do a very good job!  For the past academic year, we moved fewer than 10 students in the first semester due to roommate difficulties.
