Welcome to the ARCC Roommate Matching List

Finding the right roommate starts with being honest. Not just with us, but with yourself. This is not a job interview and there are no wrong answers. The more accurate you are, the better your chances of being connected with someone you can actually live comfortably with.

If you smoke weed, drink, keep late hours, or have a cat that runs the apartment...Own it. The last thing you want is to hide who you are from your roommate and spend the next 12 months uncomfortable in your own home. That is not quality of life.

A few things to know before you start:

- Some questions are multiple choice. Pick one answer - Some questions are multi-select. You can pick more than one. These will appear as colorful pill options - Conditional questions may appear based on your answers, this is normal - Required fields are marked with an asterisk *

Take your time and answer honestly. This is for you!

Have you ever been convicted of a felony?

Yes — this was more than 7 years ago

Yes — this was within the last 7 years

I have a sealed or expunged record

Being upfront here protects everyone involved. If a felony surfaces during a building's application process it can disqualify the entire application. Meaning your potential roommate could lose the apartment, lose other candidates they turned away, and be left without a place to live through no fault of their own. Disclosing this now allows us to have an honest conversation about your specific situation before any introductions are made.

Have you ever been evicted or had an eviction filing against you?

Yes — eviction filing but it was resolved

Yes — I was evicted

I am unsure if there is a record

Eviction history is part of the verification process. Disclosing it here helps us have a more informed conversation.
