How to Message Your Roommates
Login to the Housing Portal and open your housing application. On the ApplicationStatus page, you’ll find a list of your roommates and the option to message them. Find your messages in the “Messages” section of the portal.
Identify your specific roommates by finding the matching letters in your unit number. For example, residents in 330A1 and 330A2 share a bedroom. Bedsinsharedbedroomsarenot pre-assigned, so you will be responsible for communicating your preference with your roommate(s). Sharing a Bedroom?
ppre-move-indiscussiontopics re-move-indiscussiontopics
Move-in dates and times
Initial groceries (cases of water, toilet paper, paper towels, etc)
Mutually-shared items for the bedroom and/or unit such as mini-fridge, appliances, television, cleaning supplies, storage, dishware, and decorations
Shared bedrooms can only have one mini-fridge, smaller than 3 cubic feet
Cooking appliances such as crockpots, toasters, toaster ovens, rice steamers, electric grills, and electric frying pans are permitted in apartments only. These appliances are not permitted in suites as there is not a designated kitchen area in suite-style units.
Within the first few weeks of moving in, roommates should plan a time to meet and discuss their Roommate Agreement. This is a set of “house rules” for your unit. Your RA can assist with this conversation and offer advice on helpful topics and rules.
Compromise is a crucial piece of living with roommates. It is important to have an honest conversation about things in which you may need to compromise, such as room temperature, common area chores, cleaning schedule, noise levels, and having visitors.

Non-UL-Approved Devices
What’saul-approveddevice? What’saul-approveddevice?
UL-Approved devices pass safety testing and ensure that a product is properly manufactured. The risk of malfunction, potentially causing a fire, is much less than a device that is not UL-approved.
As you’re packing, look for the UL logo on your items that may have plugs or lightbulbs. Types of devices that need to be UL-approved include surge protectors, extension cords, and decorative lights.
