how to find a roommate?

by: Senior    

I’m about to be a senior and I’m applying now so I can get higher on the list for housing, but how do I find a roommate? I want someone who’s going Greek but I’m From OOS and don’t know anyone going to bama. When my sister went here she used roommate finder to find her roommate but is that even a thing anymore? I want to chose my roommate and not get paired with someone random so does anyone have any tips for me

the alabama thing also has a little quiz you take and then they give you a list of names of girls that would be compatible

the most popular way oos girls find roommates is through the Facebook pages. there should be a university of alabama class of 20xx for your graduating class. join it and make a little post describing yourself and the kind of roommate you want.

tips:
1. don't be weird? like this should go without saying lol but don't make a super long post describing your sleeping habits and weird ticks.
2. link your social media in your post, a lot of girls either add their insta or snap to their post so possible roomies and get a better sense of your personality.
3. have fun. talk to girls and actually try to make a connection. finding a roommate is one thing but finding a roommate you'll actually get along with is a completely different thing.
4. be patient. it's REALLY early to apply to schools let alone be committed to one. that being said, A LOT of girls say they're going to bama but end up choosing a different school last minute. to avoid this, ask possible roomies if they've committed yet, ask if they've put down the deposit, etc. if a girl is wishy washy about her commitment to bama then there's a very high chance she'll end up going to different school last minute so be wary of that.
5. go through older posts to get a good idea of what your post should look like.
