St. Lawrence University
Housing Assignment Profile

This information is important in assigning roommate preferences. Please take some time to sit down and think critically about the type of person you want to live with for your first year at St. Lawrence. You will be assigned a roommate based on the information that you present in this profile. What are your likes and dislikes? What are you looking for in a roommate? To give us the maximum potential for assigning you an acceptable roommate, please be honest and thorough when answering these questions. Because we understand that the on-campus living environment may be new for some, we expect some of these preferences to change during the semester. It may be helpful for roommates to revisit this form if changes occur to ensure a satisfying experience. You and your roommate will also discuss lifestyle preferences and complete a roommate agreement during the first week on campus. (For more information on housing, see the Residential Life homepage.)

To request a specific roommate, you must both fill out identical FYP College and Course Preference Forms and fill in the box with your requested roommate's name. Please be sure you both have agreed to room together and that both have filled out the forms the same way. If you do not do both, we cannot guarantee that you will room together.
