Select Your Own Room Mate?
Posted on July 8th, 2008
I got an email today from Pablo today. Pablo works for Lifetopia, a company that makes software for colleges to set up a room mate self-selection service - pick your own room mate. I thought it was a fascinating idea…
The latest school to come on board? Tulane.
Pablo described the program this way: "Lifetopia provides a set of applications that enable students to self-select roommates and housing in a controlled and secure environment. Students are able to create their own unique profiles and then search for, communicate with, and select their own prospective roommates, as well as to select where they wish to live."
Some other schools using Lifetopia at the moment include Harvard University, Arizona State University, Baruch College, Rutgers University, and Georgia Southern University.
So how will you college pick YOUR room mate next year? Food for thought…
