What is the DWC New Student
Room/Roommate Assignment Process?
After
making your deposit, Admissions will send you a Pre-enrollment
packet. Among the many things in this packet you will find
information about campus housing. Specifically, you should look
for the "Roommate Preference Form". You should complete this
form and return it to the Office of Admissions as soon as
possible
(return to top)
-
Why is the Roommate Placement Form
so important?
Roommate
placement forms are prioritized on a first-received,
first-served basis. In early August, rooms will be assigned
based on this priority system. While we make every attempt to
accommodate each student’s choices, there are limitations to the
availability of certain options. Roommates are assigned based on
the information you provide via the Roommate Placement Form, so
please be honest on this form.
In early August, you will
receive a letter indicating your campus address, mailbox number,
telephone number and the summer address of your roommate, if
that person chooses to release this information. Your voicemail
box will be assigned later during the summer and you will
receive that information at check-in during New Student
Orientation. During the first couple weeks of the semester, you
will have the opportunity to have your computer connected to the
campus network, which includes internet and email access and a
network drive accessible anywhere on campus that allows you to
save and share your work.
(return to top)
-
Should I try to contact my
roommate before I come to campus?
This
information is critical! You will be assigned a roommate based
on what you tell us via the form. Please understand that this is
the person you will be living with for the next 9 months! It is
important that you complete the form truthfully and honestly.
Families, please allow your student the freedom to answer these
questions according to how they will choose to live while on
campus. You may choose to room with a specific person, provided
each student indicates so at the bottom of the form.
It
is important for you to have a conversation with your roommate
about what you plan to bring with you to campus. Residence Hall
rooms are fully furnished - a desk and chair, a bed and
mattress, a dresser, closet and light fixture. The rooms are
comfortable, but space is limited. If you each bring a stereo, a
TV/VCR, a refrigerator, a couch, your guitar and your mountain
bike, etc., you will certainly be cramped (and unable to power
all that electrical equipment safely!) Each desk has enough
space for a computer, but you might consider sharing accessories
(scanner, printer, etc.) This is also a great way to begin to
get to know your roommate.
