Emory University: Can requesting a particular roommate reduce our room or dorm options?

By CollegeHousing.ai · Sources checked · 2026-27

DIRECT ANSWER

It can. Emory must place the requested students together in an available configuration, so a roommate request can constrain what spaces can accommodate the pair.

Emory does not guarantee a requested roommate or particular housing assignment. Because first-year building assignments are randomized and a mutual roommate request requires an available space that can house the requested pair, families should treat the roommate request and room preferences as preferences rather than independent guarantees.
