Guidelines for Roommate Profile
The roommate profile is designed to give potential roommates an idea of who you are as an individual. The profile can be a simple or as detailed as you wish but note that the more information you reveal the better the chance of finding a well-suited roommate.
Ideas of what to put in your profile:
- Your major
- Your class year
- Area demographic (Long Island, Western New York); we recommend not putting hometown
- Your interest
- Favorite sports and sport team
- Favorite past-time
- Favorite book/genre
- Favorite restaurant
- Favorite travel destination
- What kind of environment you wish to live in
- What kind of roommate you are looking for
What you should not put in your profile:
- Any personal contact information (phone number, etc.)
- Your current room address or home address
- Your current or upcoming schedule
- Information about anyone other than yourself
- Any harassing or discriminatory information
- Be aware that all language is monitored and will be addressed accordingly
There is a messaging feature included within the roommate selection search. You will be able to contact potential roommates via email if you wish to find out more information.
We encourage you to please reach out to a staff member within Residence Life and Housing if you need any assistance or have any concerns regarding this process.
