Question about college board/room?

When you fill out the housing application online, there's a part where you can request a roommate or be roomed at random. Have you ever lived with them before? Don't be surprised if you both don't mesh when you have to live together. It's what happens when good or best friends decide to room together. Talk to your RA (resident assistant) to solve all problems. Find out when the deadline date for switching roommates is if it ever comes to that.
