Most universities don't discuss how they pair roommates. Sometimes roommates becomes lifelong friends, other times students a left to wonder how on earth they ended up together.

Since schools rarely discuss their methodology, we'd like to face the issue head on and share ways they can improve this process.

Deliverables

Describe your own method of roommate matching. Here are some questions to get you started:

1) Which factors you would take into account and why?

2) Do students need to fill out a questionnaire? What questions would you ask?

3) Is there a method of obtaining feedback to iterate and improve upon your system?

    Submissions will be graded on the following criteria:
  • Meets Deliverables
  • Creativity
  • Clarity
