Roommate Matching and Room Selection


Our facilities are single sex, meaning all roommates within a suite are of the same sex. UCF Housing primarily assigns and matches students on the basis of sex. You are encouraged to utilize the Roommate Matching profiles, questions, and communication tools in the Housing Portal to identify the best roommate matches for you. UCF Housing strives to make each of our communities welcoming to all students.

Each applicant has the opportunity to create a profile for roommate matching purposes. Students are assigned a screen name based upon their last name only. Students are able to write a short description of themselves for potential matches to see. Additionally, there is a message function on the Housing Portal so they may screen potential matches before selecting them. UCF Housing is not able to screen potential matches on behalf of students, however, if a student already knows people with whom they would like to be placed, they may request them specifically.
