Roommate Considerations


Who you live with may be even more important than where you live, so it’s a good idea to think through the decision of whether to have roommates and who your roommates will be.

While your best friend might seem like an obvious choice, be sure that you have considered the challenges that living in close quarters will bring. Living together can sometimes strain friendships, especially if you disagree about cleanliness, parties, guests, paying bills, or expectations of each other.

Be sure to create your profile on the Illinois Tech Roommate Finder to connect with roommates who are the right fit for you! Also, check out the guide below for helpful questions to ask yourself and potential roommates as you start your search.
