Yes, you can choose your roommate at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (UNL), particularly if you are part of a Learning Community or a Themed Community.
Roommate Selection Process
UNL facilitates roommate selection for students involved in specific campus communities. This process is designed to help you find a compatible living partner within your chosen academic or interest group.
Here's how it generally works for those in communities:
- Joining a Community: First, you must be accepted into a Learning Community or join a Themed Community. These communities often bring together students with similar academic interests, majors, or lifestyle preferences.
- Accessing the Roommate Finder: Once you are officially part of a Learning or Themed Community, you gain access to UNL's Roommate Finder tool. This online platform allows you to search for potential roommates.
- Selecting a Roommate within Your Community: A key aspect of living within these communities is that you will select to live with another student who is also part of your specific Learning or Themed Community. This ensures a shared living experience aligned with the community's focus.
This system provides a structured way to find a roommate who shares common ground, enhancing your living and learning experience at UNL.
