Looking to share an apartment with a roommate? We offer the option to request a 2 bedroom apartment with an assigned roommate at The Woodlands on Green Bay, and will match you with another student who most closely matches your roommate preferences. You may also find your own roommate and list them on your application. The Housing Forum is a great place to look for the right roommate match.
Your Rosalind Franklin class facebook page will be another venue for students to match with a roommate. The class of each academic program has a facebook page and is another resource for matching with a roommate. Please contact the Office of Admissions if you have not been invited to the facebook page for your graduating class.
