Our application allows you to indicate your first, second and third preference on dorm. It also allows you to indicate a preferred roommate (roommate requests must be mutual, one from each roommate). The application process includes a roommate matching questionnaire. It is very important that the student complete the questionnaire and not the parent.
Students who've already provided us with their preferred roommate information still need to submit this questionnaire in the event that their preferred match does not attend.
*Please note that you are not able to request suitemates, only roommates.
