Augustana College has a totally hand-matched roommate process.
What that means is that you submit your housing form
it comes directly to my inbox and I spend my entire summer trying to find
the perfect roommate
The big three
are what we look for first and those are the answers that you submitted
for how you feel about alcohol,
how you feel about tobacco products, and how you feel about guests of the opposite
sex.
It stands to reason that if you're not compatible with your roommate in those
areas, it's going to lead to conflict pretty quickly,
so once we have those three categories
then we subdivide and we look at some of the other answers you submitted.
That might be: are you a varsity athlete? And you wanna be with another varsity athlete.
Are you in the fine arts department? All the way on down to how you spend your
time.
Do you like a real quiet atmosphere in the halls or you like more of a
lively atmosphere. Students will find out their housing assignments
by the end of July.
We go for about mid-July, but if you haven't heard from us
by the end of July, you might want to give us a call.
You'll get an email
to the Augustana email that you got at registration plus any other email we
have on file. You'll get who your roommate is, their contact information
and a bunch of other information, so you'll wanna read through that packet. If you want,
there's a chance to come see where you're actually placed
the first weekend in August. August 3rd, that's a Saturday
from ten to noon. We're going to open up the residents halls and let you see your
rooms.
So it's a good chance if you have a chance to come and see the actual room, maybe
meet your roommate, go out for breakfast or lunch.
About half of the incoming class are able to come,
so it's definitely not something required, but if you can it's a nice thing
to do.
