Selecting Housing

Important - Roommate Matching Has Changed this Year for the Continuing Selection Process:

This year we will be using the My College Roomie platform for all roommate matching. This platform will allow students to search for other students either that they already know, currently living with, or looking for someone with common living habits ahead of selecting a space. Below though are important things to remember.

  • You must complete your profile in My College Roomie to be matched with another student
  • Your entire group must match by 5:00pm in My College Roomie the day before the earliest selection time of the group to select together in your My Housing.
  • If you drop a roommate/s the day of your selection time you will not be able to add them back to your group until the following day.
  • We recommend looking at the options available for housing a couple of days before the earliest selection time so that you can make plans more than 24 hours before the earliest selection time.
  • If you have any questions please go to the following page for a My College Roomie tutorial MyHousing Tutorials | Residential Life or contact our office by emailing livingoncampus@uconn.edu – please contact at least 48 business hours before your selection time.

We have tried to make housing selection as simple as possible for our residents:

  • Current class standing determines the order in which students select a room. Seniors select first, followed by juniors, then sophomores, then freshmen.
  • Within class standing, students select rooms based on the number of credits earned.
  • Students with the same number of credits will be randomly assigned an order.

Some things to remember:

You only get one pick during this process — whatever room you select is your assignment until the summer room change process begins. Please make sure that you have your roommate group finalized and that you are fully satisfied with your selection before hitting “submit.”

Have multiple contingency plans when it comes to selection -- we cannot guarantee that a specific room type will be available for you or your roommate group to select into.

You can go into the system and view available spaces before your selection time to get an idea of what spaces may be available when it is your turn.

If you cannot pick during your turn, please review the options available so that our office can best assist you.
