Select your living choice.
Options for the Living and Learning Communities (LLCs) available to you will be presented as well as general housing options.
Keep in mind if you have a desired roommate, you both will need to select the same living choice and be of the same gender to find each other in the roommate pages.

Profile
Fill out a five hundred-character description of yourself to display to potential roommates.
Provide social media and personal email info that you feel comfortable with sharing to the roommate search.

Search for a roommate
There are several ways to search for a potential roommate and message students to see if you would be a good fit before creating a roommate group with the individual.
If looking for a specific student, knowing their Clemson username will be the best way to find them and form your group. Remember you and the other student will need to have the same living choice and be the same gender.
Roommate groups may consist of up to two people; the exception is Summer Start LLC members.

An email notification will be sent on May 18 to your University email (and your personal email, if provided) with instructions to sign into the portal and view your selection date and time.

Room selection day
At your assigned date and time, Room Selection will open to you in the portal.
