URoomSurf.com - Looking The Right Roommate Up

URoomSurf is a new social resource that matches both current and prospective college students with compatible roommates. It intends to become the first point of contact for the 1.5 million college-bound high school student demographic within the US.

The website will let anybody choose a school and take a survey made up of a series of roommate-focused questions. The first four questions of the survey include “School”, “Semester”, “Year” and “Gender”, and then personality-based questions are asked. A provided algorithm calculates match percentages for all student users attending the same College or University. You can review all same-sex users by compatibility percentage, and you can also communicate with opposite-sex user although you can not get matched to them.

In a certain way, the site is picking up where Facebook left off, before it opened up to the public at large. Students who have become bored of trying to find compatible roommates by any other method will be obviously enticed by this service, as it will allow them to actually get to know potential roommates in less time, and having a clear idea of what to expect from the very beginning.

“Finding a college roommate just got a whole lot easier!”

The site makes something arbitrary become reliable in itself since you can have a bigger degree of control over it all.

What about these schools that don’t allow you to request a roommate?
