Finding a roommate to share a space can be exciting and scary all at the same time. Our roommate matching system does a great job, but it’s also important you take time to get to know potential roommates. A good match is the key to a great experience. Finish your housing contract if you haven’t yet. Roommate matching for the fall 2024 semester will begin May 20, 2024. Room selection will begin on June 28, 2024.  

Start the Roommate Search Process

  1. Log into MyBLUE > Campus Tools > Housing > 2024-25 Academic Year Contract > Your Profile for Roommate Matching.
  2. In the Description Box, type a paragraph about yourself. Use key words such as soccer team, marching band, video gamer, etc.
  3. Go to Roommate Search and search in 3 ways:
    1. Search Roommate by Details:
      • Use keywords to search.
      • If you want to live with someone going into sorority life or someone on the football team, use key words such as “sorority life” or “football team."
      • If you know who you want to room with, search by their name.
      • Note: If you are a recipient of the Susan Buffett Scholarship, World Herald Scholarship, or are part of a community (Honors, Kearney Bound Scholars, KHOP, or Health Sciences Explorers), you will only see others who are in your community. Members of a community are required to live in pre-specified rooms with other members.
      • Roommate pairings are done by gender designated on your UNK application. If the gender reflected on your account does not reflect your living requirements, contact us at housing@unk.edu for assistance.
    2. Search Roommate by Profile – Use roommate matching questions.
    3. View Suggested Roommates – Best matches rise to the top.
  4. Send a Message internally within the contract, then choose to share your TikTok, Instagram, or contact information to continue the conversation.
  5. Send Request to the desired roommate. Make sure the confirmed roommate accepts the roommate request.

Start the Room Selection Process
