One of the biggest challenges in the housing search is figuring out how many roommates you’ll have—and who they’ll be.

Finding roommates isn’t always easy. Maybe you’re a freshman or transfer student still getting to know people, you haven’t found enough roommates to match your dream floor plan, or you’re just looking to switch things up.

At the Rambler Tempe leasing office, we often get questions about what steps to take if you don’t have preselected roommates. Luckily, at Rambler Tempe and many other student apartments in Tempe, we offer roommate matching services to help pair you with roommates who are a great fit.

To help better explain the roommate matching process, we have written this guide addressing the most common questions and concerns from students and guarantors, including: 

  • What exactly is roommate matching?

How Roommate Matching Works at Student Apartments Near ASU

What exactly is roommate matching?

Roommate matching is a helpful service where the property assigns you compatible roommates, so you don’t need to have preselected roommates to secure your spot.

This service lets you secure an individual lease for your bed space without needing to find roommates for other rooms. For instance, if you opt for a four-bedroom apartment, you’re not obligated to search for three additional roommates; the leasing team handles the leasing and roommate assignments. Additionally, you won’t bear financial responsibility for unfilled rooms if the apartment management fails to fill those spaces.

Roommate matching is a game-changer for many ASU students, making it easier to sign leases without the stress of finding a roommate on their own. No matter your situation, it’s a helpful service that simplifies the housing search and sets you up for a smooth move-in experience.

How will I be assigned a roommate?

In many college dorms and apartments, roommate assignments are often completely random. But at places like Rambler Tempe, we take a more thoughtful approach by matching roommates based on lifestyle compatibility and floor plan availability.

Our application includes a roommate compatibility questionnaire with “lifestyle questions” about things like cleanliness, social habits, sleeping schedules and more. This information helps us pair you with someone who fits your vibe. That’s why it’s so important to fill out the form honestly—it gives our team the best chance to match you with a roommate you’ll enjoy living with.

The roommate matching form plays a key role in our process, so we’ll even resend it before move-in to make sure it’s filled out as accurately as possible. Being honest in your answers is super important—it helps us pair you with a roommate who’s truly compatible with your lifestyle.

When will I know who my roommates are?

The Rambler Tempe team continually receives new roommate compatibility forms, leading to ongoing adjustments in potential pairings for future residents who might make ideal roommates.

Roommate matches are finalized once Rambler Tempe is fully leased. This ensures the best possible pairing while respecting everyone’s privacy. Roommate matches are typically released during summer before move-in. While you’ll have to wait a bit to meet your roommates, our thorough matching process is designed to create the best possible living experience for you.

Meeting your new roommates is one of the most exciting parts of moving into a new apartment, and we totally get how eager you are to connect with them. The Rambler Tempe team promises to share your roommates’ details as soon as possible. 

Rambler Tempe makes finding housing stress-free, so you can focus on enjoying your college experience. From thoughtful roommate matching to modern amenities, we’re here to make your move to ASU seamless. Ready to find your perfect home near ASU?
