Just a reminder…
It’s getting closer to the time when seniors will begin applying for housing at colleges and universities. Most colleges take this process very seriously requiring students to complete detailed questionnaires. Their goal is not only compatibility, but also roommates that cause each other to grow by experiences roommates from different  places,  backgrounds or with different interests.
URoomSurf solicits, for example, “Students of University of Iowa Class of 2014” to join in a search for their roommate on line. Perhaps an interesting way to meet people, but the University of Iowa is not going to honor those choices and perhaps they shouldn’t. My guess is most students who participate in URoomSurf won’t step too far out of their Comfort Zone…plenty of time for that the rest of your life, college may be one of your last chances to experience the new or different.
