CMU Roommate Search
In your housing application, you will complete a roommate questionnaire to assist with roommate matching. You also have the option to add a personal bio to help others get to know your personality, interests, hobbies, and what you are hoping for in your roommate experience.
Roommate Search
Interestingly, you have the option of searching, requesting, and accepting specific roommate requests (based on space availability), or accepting a non-specific roommate in your Academic College. Your roommate questionnaire is used to determine and display potential best-matched roommates. There are three ways to search for and request roommates:
- Browse Overall Best-Matched Roommates – you can see others whose responses to the roommate questionnaire were similar to yours and are not currently part of a group
- Browse Best-Matched Roommates Based on Specific Questions – you can browse the profiles of others who answered a roommate questionnaire question a certain way and are not currently part of a group
- Browse Best-Matched Roommates within Academic Major – you can browse best-matched roommates based on your specific major
- Search and Request a Specific Roommate – you can find a specific person by their CMU UserID (abc123) or Web Name (42587)
View roommate profiles to see their academic college and personal bios to help you find compatible roommates. Roommate requests must be accepted prior to room selection in order to pull them in with you. Using the roommate search tool is optional. If you do not request/accept a roommate prior to room selection, another student will select or be placed in the other space(s) in your room.
Roommate Groups
The online housing application allows students to create groups of potential roommates. When you initiate a roommate request, a group is automatically created.
