If your son does not know anyone going in, he can either get randomly assigned a roommate, which could end up working out very well, or not. Another option that is popular among incoming students is choosing a roommate via Facebook. There is a U of M 2023 Facebook group, and students tend to post short profiles about their interests and living habits in order to search for a roommate. People message each other and decide whether or not they are interested in rooming together. This is how I found my roommate, and it worked out well. Prior to moving in, we knew that we had similar living habits and interests, which took away some of the element of surprise.
