Roommate Search

One of the three components of the Disney College Program is Living. This component involves where you are going to live and who you are going to live with. You have four apartment complexes to choose from, Vista Way, Chatham Square, Patterson Court, or the Commons. The best way to choose where to live is to watch apartment complex tours on YouTube. Also, you want to look at the rates for each apartment complex. The rates for Fall/Fall Advantage 2014 are listed below:

The next step is determining how many roommates you would like to have. You can have as little as one roommate and as many as seven. Once you have chosen your ideal living situation it is time to search for potential roommates. This is where joining the Facebook groups comes in handy. There will be a Facebook group specific to your move-in date. All of your roommates need to have the same check-in date, so posting in your specific move-in date group is the easiest.

Making a roommate survey and posting it to the group page is the best way to find roommates that you will get a long with. Remember, finding your roommates is not a race. Chat with a lot of people to truly find roommates that you are going to get a long with and that have common interests.

Once you have your roommates you have to wait until you are invited to set your living preferences in DORMS, which is typically 10 days before check-in. All of your roommates need to input the same preferences and list all of the roommates legal names. Look forward to a complete post on the DORMS process.
