Roommate Matching Service

The Roommate Matching Service is designed to serve as a connection point among UMass Boston students who want to live near the campus. The Office of Student Housing collects information from students about their needs and interests by asking them to fill out the Roommate Matching Form and then matches them with others who have similar needs and interests.

This program is intended to help students find affordable housing by sharing the cost of off-campus housing and to help students build connections within neighboring communities, encouraging UMass Boston students to feel part of the larger university community.
