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 selection takes place between April and 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 resident portal:
