June 6 - June 24, 2022
The Roommate Finder and Roommate Request process for the 2022-2023 academic year begins Monday, June 6 at 9:00 a.m. through Friday, June 24, at 4:00 p.m.
Roommate Finder is an online roommate matching process that's integrated into our Residence Hall Housing and Dining Agreement. The questionnaires completed in the Residence Hall Housing Agreement will help students find potential roommate matches in the system if they want to request their own roommate or will help Resident Life staff match roommates together. Students may view or update the questionnaire responses in the Housing Portal under Profile.
There are many Terps who choose to be randomly assigned a roommate. It’s ok to not have a preferred roommate in mind! There are countless success stories of randomly assigned roommates who have comfortably shared their room and in many cases have become lifelong friends!
We strive to accommodate mutual roommate requests; however, we cannot guarantee all requests as there may be space limitations. Every request is considered on a case by case basis, and a number of factors are considered, including participation in Living-Learning Programs and the Residence Hall Housing and Dining Agreement submission date.
We will do our best to accommodate requests.
Follow these steps to search for and/or request a roommate.

Students Who Dont Want to Request a Roommate
There are many Terps who choose to be randomly assigned a roommate. It’s ok to not have a preferred roommate in mind! There are countless success stories of randomly assigned roommates who have comfortably shared their room and in many cases have become lifelong friends!
If you would rather be assigned randomly, our staff will do our best to pair you based on your responses to the living preferences questions on your Housing Agreement.
