Roommate requests and roommate matching are done through the application on your MyHousing page. Roommate searching and matching will become available once you have completed your application. To access, select "Room and Roommate," "Select Roommate," and then select the corresponding term to your roommate request (Fall 2024).
You should first set up your roommate matching profile. In "Profile and Billing" and "Roommate Profile," you may enter your personal email or social media you would like displayed. If your "Profile Privacy" is set to Do Not Display Me, you will not be accessible to other residents in the roommate search.
If your "Profile Privacy" is set to Display Only My Information (Not My Profile), you will be accessible to other students in the roommate search but your profile will be hidden.
If you have someone in mind you would like to request, our office suggests that you search by their last name or their Emory email address directly. Some students use their preferred names in their profile, so you may want to confirm with them before searching.
Note: Your preferred roommate must complete their housing application in order to be matched.
Note: MyHousing may return no results if you search by name AND living preferences. The system will look for the student with the exact name and specific living preference.
Once you send a roommate request, you can see outstanding requests highlighted in yellow in the Roommate Request Section.
