Im going to University of Illinois at Urbana in the fall, and im trying to find somewhere where i can meet and talk to people that are also going there, possibly to find a roomate or something. Anyone know of a place like this?

do they not just assign freshmen roomates at random anymore? that was the best part, not knowing who you were gonna be roomed with

No, they do assign them randomly, but if i can find someone with similiar interests now, it might work better

Every school I know allows you to pick your roomate. If both people pick eachother you get assigned to eachother. But fvck that, take the risk! Your roomate is either your best friend or your worst enemy! :beer:

Sometimes it's having someone without similar interests that makes it work out better.....

Go with random. Its safer. Johnny might turn out to be gay, which is why you got along so well.

If you school has those pre-orientation trips, try one of those. It's a decent way of meeting new people before everyone else moves in and classes start.
