Roommate Options

Finding a Roommate on Your Own

Through the CSU Housing Portal create, browse, message, and select a roommate(s) based on interactive profiles. You will also be able to make connections with students who may be your classmates, neighbors, co-workers, and fellow Rams.

Have a Roommate Assigned to You

University Housing will assign you a roommate based on the profile questionnaire you fill out on your housing application.

Room Assignments

2024-2025 Room Selection is now closed. Incoming first-year residents without a room assignment will be assigned a space based on availability and preferences listed on their housing application. Some students will be temporarily assigned to overflow housing within campus housing and will receive a permanent assignment as spaces become available. Beginning in early July, students will receive a date and time that they will gain access to Room Selection, which opens on July 8. You may participate in room selection as an individual – matching with a roommate is not required. If you are in a roommate group, the designated ‘group leader’ is responsible for selecting their group’s spaces during room selection. New rooms throughout the residence halls will be made available as room selection progresses. We encourage everyone to have a few options in mind as some spaces will fill more quickly than others.
