Will students currently without a roommate currently get assigned one for spring semester?

Housing

I am a freshman living in a dorm double right now, and my original roommate had cancelled their contract for the year, meaning I effectively am in a single, which is quite nice. Does anyone know if students currently without roommates will be potentially assigned ones for spring semester?

I'm in the same position and I just found out that I am indeed getting a roommate who decided to do random

Mind saying how you got notified?

Sure! She found one of my social medias and messaged me there. I never would have known otherwise, my myhousing portal doesn't say anything about it and I didn't get notified by housing

Last year I transferred mid semester and scared my roommate a bit as he had just gotten notified and though I would be coming for the spring semester but instead I showed up right after he got the notification

When Lundgren got switched to quarantine-only I got moved to a double in Nugent for the rest of the year and they told me I wouldn't get a roommate for the rest of the year. If I come back in January and there's someone else in my room I'm gonna be pissed

You could buy out the other half of your room

I heard this was an option, but couldn't find anything on the housing portal. Mind telling how?

Not sure actually, one of my friends got presented with the option when her roommate moved out. Maybe talk to your RD?
