How does Emory roommate matching work if my student does not pick someone?
DIRECT ANSWER
Students who do not pick a roommate can receive a randomized roommate assignment.
Emory’s 2026–27 first-year guide says first-year assignments are randomized and notes that approximately half of first-year residents have a randomly assigned roommate. Families should evaluate compatibility through actual communication after assignment rather than assume the match predicts a conflict.
