I believe that roommate assignments aren’t made until the class is completed (after May 1), so my guess is that there is no process for matching ED’ers, though getting your deposit in so early will hopefully keep you from being tripled. My D’s roommate situation kept changing—early on she got the names of her two assigned roommates and made contact; the three seemed to get along swimmingly, made plans about a fridge, printer and room decor. Then late in the summer one of them decided to defer, and a new girl replaced her. And when D arrived on campus to move in, she was informed that the other original roomie had decided not to attend, and another new girl was put in the room. So much for plans! Ultimately the girls were detripled a few weeks into the year. I guess the lesson is to be flexible and expect anything. D is on an Honors floor in Hughes (north side), and likes the location because it’s across the street from Katzen, where she spends a lot of her time.
