Roommate MatchingAre you interested in having a Muslim roommate? Tired of asking random people to live with you? To help Muslim students get used to life on campus and to develop brotherhood/sisterhood bonds, the MSA is starting a roommate matching program to help students find other Muslim students to live with. You can sign up below!
How To Use: First, view our housing list and email the people that you might be interested in living with, renting from, or renting to. Then, if you can’t find anything or you don’t get any replies in one week, post to our list using the form below. It may take up to 20 minutes for a posting to show up on the housing list. The listings on the bottom of the list are the most recent and are most likely to not have found a roommate yet. ****DISCLAIMER: Roommate matches are not always guaranteed***
