Looking for a new roommate who's offering an available room? You’ve come to the right place! Millions have used Roommates.com to locate their ideal roommate and form lasting friendships along the way. While the hunt for the perfect roommate with the perfect available room may seem like a daunting task, we've done everything we can to make the process as easy as possible. Here are a few helpful tips to keep in mind…
Perfect Your Profile!
It’s all about the details! We make creating your roommate profile easier than ever by asking the right questions so you can find your Perfect Match®. Simply answer a few questions, write a quick bio, and upload a few pictures, then we’ll show you your Matches. Keep in mind: the more information you provide about yourself and your needs, the better match results you’ll receive!
"Wants" Vs. "Needs"
When reviewing your profile and your roommate preferences, keep in mind that broadening your preferences (when possible) can result in a larger pool of Matches, which can in turn increase your chances of finding the perfect roommate. As such, it's a good idea to think about the things you absolutely need in comparison to the things you want, but aren't absolutely essential. Expanding your preferences in areas where you have a bit of flexibility can help you strengthen your chances of finding the perfect roommate.
