It's time to begin planning for residence life as a Purple Raider! Many of you have been asking how Mount Union will match you with a roommate, so here is some information about how the process works. You will be asked to complete a personal and interest preference form online via a program called MyHousing. The program will then use this information to find your best match among the other students who've already completed the form. Even commuters must complete the form.

You can also use this system to make a specific roommate request after both you and your desired roommate have completed the form. To do this, you will go to the "Room Selection" across the top and then choose "Roommates/Suitemates" from the drop-down menu. If you know who you want to live with already, you can search for them by name in "Simple Roommate Search." Alternatively, you can use the "Advanced Roommate Search" and look for other people who have completed the form with similar answers. From among those results, you can then request someone to be your roommate. In either case, as long as that person confirms your request by July 15, you will be roommates.
