Regardless of if they have a roommate in mind, all students are asked to fill out a housing survey that assesses their college living preferences and hobbies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students who want to room together will be allowed to request each other in their housing form, and so long as the pairing is mutual and it is not in violation of K\u2019s Policy of Nondiscrimination, the request will be respected.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remaining students will be paired based on the results of their housing surveys,&nbsp;so that you and your future roommate will be on the same page about the important things like sleep schedules and cleanliness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"color:#222222;background-color:#6a7f10\" class=\"wp-block-atomic-blocks-ab-notice ab-font-size-16 ab-block-notice\" data-id=\"883209\"><div class=\"ab-notice-title\" style=\"color:#fff\"><p>Policy of Nondiscrimination<\/p><\/div><div class=\"ab-notice-text\" style=\"border-color:#6a7f10\"><p>In keeping with the College\u2019s policy of non-discrimination, housing assignments are made without regard to race, color, religion, sexual orientation, nationality or ethnicity, age, handicap or other factors irrelevant to participation in programs of the College.
