The Basics
Over 50% of incoming students choose to "go random" when it comes to their roommate - you fill out your profile and questionnaire, and we assign your roommate based on those answers. However, if you want to connect with other first-years and find your own roommate, or live with someone you already know, you can do that as well.
To accommodate all students, halls are pre-designated by gender based on the enrollment numbers of a given class.
When completing your Housing Contract, you will select your gender preference as single gender, co-ed, or all-gender floor. You will also have the opportunity to indicate if you are interested in Theme Housing.
Lehigh assigns rooms based on the preferences you indicate. A random process will be utilized to determine your housing assignment along with others who have made similar selections.
If you are matched with a roommate using the information you provide through My College Roomie, you will be placed together whenever possible. Please be sure that your gender and theme preferences match those of your roommate.
Invitations to join My College Roomie will be sent out beginning June 5th, and your profile and matches must be completed by June 22nd.
