Room Selection

Room selection for Fall 2025 - Spring 2026 will open in March 2025. 

We're excited to announce that Room Selection for returning on-campus students for the Fall 2025 - Spring 2026 academic year will occur from March 24 to March 28, 2025.

All returning housing students who have applied and agreed to their Housing Contract will receive a designated start time to choose from available rooms on campus during this week. This is your opportunity to secure your preferred accommodation for the upcoming academic year.

For Incoming Housing Students, Room Selection will be held from April 14 to April 18, 2025. Similar to returning students, incoming students who have applied and agreed to their Housing Contract will also receive a designated start time during this week to select their rooms.

Please note that any housing assignments made after the selection period will not have room selection options.
For detailed instructions on participating in Room Selection, please log onto Housing Self-Service and refer to the Help Text section.

 

BSC Roommate Matching

Use My College Roomie to find your Roommate
After you have completed your housing application, an invitation will be sent to your BSC email address, asking you to create a profile in My College Roomie.(Please note: Your ability to log into MCR will not be active until the invitation email is sent – typically one or two business days after completion of your housing application).
 
  • Match up with someone you know: Simply log into MCR, complete a profile, answer some questions, then request to match up with your preferred roommate. 
  • Match up with someone new: Log into MCR, create a profile, and complete a questionnaire. After that, you will be able to look at other student’s profiles and see your percentage of compatibility. Then, you can send messages to any or all of your suggested matches to connect further. Finally, you can request each other as roommates.
Need help or want to check it out before you jump in? Visit the My College Roomie support/solutions page to find a ton of videos on how the program works, how to get started, and more! If you still have questions, submit a help ticket.
