RoommateClick

RoommateClick offers the full spectrum of functionality and depth of criteria enabling students to self-select their roommates while empowering the school to define necessary search logic and provide administrative oversight.

RoommateClick authenticates registered students who, after creating their account, search for and interact with other students to ultimately select their own roommate and housing preferences.
RoommateClick communicates student selections to existing housing management systems or other university software platforms resulting in a more efficient assignment process. Administrators are able to review all activity on the site, as well as edit student information and review/run data reports about students’ roommates and housing preferences and selections.

With its user-friendly interface, schools may also use RoommateClick as the front end to their existing housing management software.
