Card Services Room Selection webpage. For questions about the application process, please email the Housing Office or call 315.443.2721.
Finding and Selecting a Roommate
The Housing Office utilizes a roommate compatibility feature within your Housing Self-Service to assist in searching for a compatible roommate. Through this, you will be able to find other students who share your LLC interests. Please make sure you and your selected roommate have selected the LLC preference in your housing application.
Within your Housing portal, you will be able to complete your Roommate Questionnaire that provides you with an opportunity to connect with fellow students and to identify a roommate. On this tab in the Housing portal, students will be able to answer questions about their habits and hobbies, and select attributes to discover what they have in common with other Syracuse students.
Once the Housing contract opens, the roommate matching feature will be available, and you will be able to select and confirm your chosen roommate. Keep in mind that as the spring semester goes on and more students complete the Housing application, your pool of possible connections and roommates will grow. Make a point to periodically return to the Roommate Selection tab to see what new connections are available. We encourage you to have conversations with your selected roommate prior to the completion of the LLC room selection day and time.
