7 What About Roommates? Current residents that want to live together next year need to coordinate and communicate to make this happen, AND arrange to complete room selection together. We recommend using a computer lab so that all those concerned can select their room at approximately the same time. Students that fall into different credit completed/attempted groups will have the opportunity to live together The system will not know that you have figured out who all your roommates are. If you do not fill all of the spaces in an apartment, they will be visible to other residents and could be filled. Online Room Selection Process
