O-week (orientation week) coordinators match roommates based on very in-depth roommate surveys, and generally do a very good job.

I didn’t visit Rice until after i was accepted, and I had visited a bunch of the northeast schools prior, including the notoriously beautiful campuses of Princeton and Wellesley, and I thought Rice’s campus rivaled those easily. The other thing I noticed was how incredibly friendly everyone was, a stark contrast to my visit to Columbia a week later, where current students really left us to fend for ourselves.
