Random roommate assignments in college dorms may facilitate open-mindedness toward other students substantially different than oneself, according to one data review, which has influenced policy at a number of other universities.
While any system needs to include a way to switch should any student roommate become overly distressed, navigating social situations among students with diverse backgrounds is a valuable educational experience by itself.
“Random” really isn’t though, as roommate systems need to assess compatibility according to roommate-related needs, such as cleanliness and sleep schedules, according to administrators.
