Roommates
ROOMIES
- A roommate is a big part of your WCU experience. Roommates allow you to understand the differences of another person, offer social support, foster tolerance and respect, and make the most of living in the residence halls.
- At WCU, you can select a roommate(s), search for a roommate(s), or have a roommate(s) assigned to you.
- For incoming first-year students, roommate matching and selection takes place between March-June each year.
Selecting a Roommate
Already have a roommate(s) in mind? You can request to live with another student (yes--even as a first-year student!) or elect your preferred roommate(s) through your WCU Managed Housing Application or USH Resident Portal.
