Find your room and your roommate
To find a roommate(s), first choose your space by completing the Housing Application in the Housing Portal. (You may select a space while self-selection is open.) Once you have selected a space (or been assigned if self-selection has closed), you will see the name(s) of your roommates/suite mates in the Application Status tab in the Housing Portal. If the other individual(s) have completed the optional profile, you will be able to learn more about them.
A friend and I want to live in the same room
If you have a preferred roommate, be sure to complete your Housing Application as soon as it opens—after you’ve been admitted to WVU and paid your academic deposit. Space availability is shown in real time, so it’s important to encourage your preferred roommate to apply to WVU and pay their academic deposit early as well, so they can complete their Housing Application in a timely manner. If another student selects the space before your preferred roommate does, you are not permitted to ask them to move or choose a different room. You may continue to search for other available spaces that can accommodate you and your preferred roommate while the self-selection period remains open.
Find your room and roommate assignment
To find your room location and the name of your roommate in the Housing Portal (MyHousing), click on Application Status (upper right corner) or go to the Complete Application tab and scroll to the bottom. You can then contact your future roommate with a message sent through MyHousing.
Room selection process
What’s the best residence hall to live in? We often get that question and the answer depends on your preferences! Consider a Living-Learning Community - you'll meet people with similar interests and/or the same major. We have three distinct neighborhoods: Downtown, Evansdale and Sunnyside, each offering unique choices for housing, dining and recreational activities. Before you select your room, check out what each has to offer. Pictures, room dimensions, price and other frequently asked questions can be found for each of the residence halls.
