How does UT Austin match roommates when my student does not choose one?
DIRECT ANSWER
Housing uses profile and student information rather than a purely blind random assignment.
UT's room-assignment guidance says that when Housing assigns a room, it can use factors including age, classification, major and roommate-profile percentage match. Students complete roommate-profile questions in the housing application to help identify compatibility.
