University of Tampa: My student looked up their roommate online and thinks they are incompatible. What should we do?
DIRECT ANSWER
This answer preserves school guidance recorded on 2026-09-01. Follow the linked university sources for current requirements, costs and dates.
Encourage the students to communicate directly before move-in and use Residence Life support if a real conflict develops.
Online profiles are incomplete evidence of roommate compatibility. UTampa's housing process does not guarantee a perfect match, so the useful next step is a practical conversation about sleep, guests, cleanliness and study habits; after move-in, the RA can help if a conflict becomes substantive.
