How are roommates paired?

EHS assigns residents to one of three types of rooms, Female, Male or Neutral. Single gender rooms (Female, Male) are assigned to residents whose gender identity aligns with the gender of that room and who wish to live in a single gender room. Neutral gender rooms allow residents to reside with other residents regardless of gender identity, sex or gender expression. By selecting this option, residents commit to living in a room/suite occupied by other residents who also prefer gender neutral housing and whose gender identity may or may not match their own.

We take several factors into consideration when pairing roommates together such as age, sleep schedule and smoking preference. We always attempt to match roommates based off the information you provide during your room reservation, but it is not always guaranteed. If you have any special requests, please let your Housing Advisor know and we will do our best to accommodate them. If you reserved your room directly with your school/company, they will do all pairing and room allocation.

How does room selection work?

Rooms are assigned on a first come, first served basis depending on your room type. We cannot guarantee views, floor numbers, closeness to elevators, etc. however, if you have any special request, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate. If you reserved your room directly with your school/company, they would handle all pairing and room allocation.
