If you'd like to find your own roommate, it's easy simply login to My Housing by
visiting our website at housing.boisestate.edu and click on MyHousing
underneath the quick clicks
click on Login to MyHousing
to set up your profile, click on personal preferences. Make sure to select the
correct semester you're looking to move into housing. There are many options to
choose from
Not all are required for you to select.
Once selected, scroll down and click the submit my personal preferences
Your preferences will be saved and viewable to others for details similar to
yours
Then, this is a separate submission, select whether or not you want your profile to
be private
If you select "yes" your profile will not popup when someone is doing a roommate search,
However, you still search for others.
Select how you'd prefer to be contacted. In this case, Buster would prefer
if someone contacted him via Facebook.
Write a brief biography about yourself if you wish,
then click submit my personal profile.
To begin looking for roommates, in the navigation bar, hover over room selection
and click on roommates selection.
Select the semester that applies to when you'd be moving in.
If you know the name of the person you'd like to roommate with, you can also input
their names and/or email address.
Please note, if the individual does indeed show up, they will automatically be requested by
you via the program.
You can also search by preferences. Make sure the first preference hall
matches with yours.
There are a few options you can select, but remember the more options you select
the narrower your search will be.
And there's a chance that no one will show up.
Try to keep the search as broad as possible.
As we see here for example, Buster Bronco was looking for someone who
prefers quiet music while studying.
We see Paul Pony's profile show up.
After reading through Paul's preferences
and seeing that his first preference hall, Chaffee D Wing
matches with his own,
Buster decides he'd like to be roommates with Paul.
He then clicks on "Request This Student"
On Paul's screen, we see that an alert pops up to show that Buster Bronco has requested him
as a roommate.
The status also says "DOES NOT MATCH"
This means that Paul has not requested Buster Bronco back,
and therefore, they have not been matched as a roommate.
Then click on "View Profile"
After Paul looks at Buster's profile, he decided he'd like to be roommates with
Buster and he requests Buster in return. They are now matched in the system as roommates.
And it's as simple as that!!!
Note that this process is not required, this option is only for those who would like to find their own roommate.
Thanks for watching!
