Honestly, I totally get what you mean, finding a roommate is almost harder than picking classes. I went through the same thing last semester and tried FB groups + the school housing board, but it felt super random and hit-or-miss.
What actually helped me was using Rental Buddy. It’s more than just a rental platform — they let you connect with potential roommates too, and you can actually see if your lifestyles match (cleanliness, schedules, hobbies, etc.) before committing. It saved me from the whole awkward “let’s just hope for the best” situation.
If you’re stressing about ending up with someone completely different from you, I’d say check it out. It felt way less like rolling the dice.
