Roommates
Your roommate will have a significant impact on your experience at college.
The relationship you share may influence everything from your study habits,
social life, to the overall experience you have at Louisiana College.
It is not always easy to find the "perfect" roommate or to
be the perfect roommate. Living with another individual and sharing a
small space takes a lot of patience, respect, tolerance for individual
beliefs and differences, and understanding. Roommates who get along well
with one another, work at getting along well with one another. Developing
a relationship with your roommate is a valuable part of your educational
experience.
The Coordinator of Residential Life makes room assignments for students.
Each housing application is carefully examined, and several criteria are
used in assigning roommates.
- Mutual roommate requests
- Hall choices
- Preferred sleeping hours
- Academic classification
- Study habits
- Music interests
- Activity interests
Once roommate assignments have been made, you may be assigned an email
address through our Computer Center. You and your roommate may begin emailing
each other to choose items for your room, coordinate what to bring, get
to know each other, and start planning for the year.
