Definitely contact housing! I’m sure things like this happen all the time. My daughter is finishing up her first year at Berkeley and found her roommate through the app called “Bunky.” A lot of her peers used it. I would call/email housing ASAP and find out what you should do.

Luckily your daughter has already applied for housing and is in the queue. They will make a housing offer based on her and her roommates initial application. They would likely put her with someone who didn’t specify a roommate. FWIW–Berkeley does an amazing job with the first week, “Golden Bear Orientation.” Students are grouped in a cohort of people they live adjacent to, in their dorm. So, they spend their first week cavorting around Berkeley and SF with their room/floor/suite mates. It made for a really tight-knit community for my daughter. It has been a truly wonderful year!
