Beginning on May 1, 2026 at 9am ET and until May 27<sup>th<\/sup>, 2026 at 4pm ET, if your First-Year Student Priority Housing application has been submitted, you can search for\/request roommates from among other first-year students who have submitted their own First-Year Student Priority Housing application in URI My Housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roommate requests must be&nbsp;<strong>reciprocal<\/strong>. This means that the roommate you request must&nbsp;<strong>accept your request<\/strong>&nbsp;to create a \u201cfully matched group\u201d. To be certain that your roommate group is \u201cfully matched\u201d please check your URI My Housing account. HRL can typically accommodate most fully-matched roommate requests submitted by the priority deadline. Incomplete or late roommate requests may not be honored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TIP: When searching for a specific roommate, use a partial last name and first initial. This person must also have submitted a First-Year Student Priority Housing application to be returned as a search result. If you are searching for a roommate based on application responses, start with only 1-2 filters and press search. You can add\/delete more fields to expand or narrow the list. The pool will continue to grow as more first-year students complete housing applications. In other words, checking back later may yield different results in potential roommates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TIP: If your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/housing\/living-and-learning-communities\/\">LLC<\/a>\u00a0is in a hall with triple rooms (projected to be Hillside, Barlow, and Weldin Halls for the upcoming year), we highly recommend you identify two roommates as part of your group. You will be assigned a third roommate even if you select only one roommate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Step 3: Request Roommates (optional) Some students already know who they\u2019d like to live with; some like having the option to search for and match with potential roommates; and others like us to match them with a roommate.
