Roommate Rumble: The Two Paths
- The Roommate Rendezvous:
This is where you get to play matchmaker for yourself! You can:
Team Up with Tried-and-True Friends: Know someone else heading to SDSU? Form a roommate group and guarantee you'll have a built-in buddy to navigate late-night study sessions, questionable cafeteria meals, and the mystery of the disappearing laundry (we all know someone who has a sock-eating gremlin).
Seek Out Your Soulmate (Roommate Edition): Feeling adventurous? Utilize the magic of the internet (and SDSU's housing resources) to find potential roommates who share your interests. Whether it's a passion for obscure 80s hair metal or a love for keeping the dorm decibel level at "library whisper," finding someone on the same page can make all the difference.
- The Roommate Roulette:
Maybe you're flying solo or prefer a surprise. No worries, SDSU uses a sophisticated matching system (read: a fancy questionnaire) to pair you with someone who (hopefully) aligns with your lifestyle preferences. Think of it as dorm room Tinder, but with less swiping and more shared pizza nights.
Tip: Don’t rush — enjoy the read.
Important Note: There's always a chance you might get assigned a third roommate, even if you form a group of two. Think of it as an opportunity to expand your friend circle (or a test of your Tetris skills when it comes to fitting all your belongings in the room).
Living Large(r) Groups:
For those who crave the ultimate dorm room party atmosphere (or just have a lot of friends), there are limited opportunities for groups of five or more in specific housing options. Check with SDSU housing for details – just be prepared for a potential decibel level that rivals a rock concert (though hopefully not your study sessions).
