How to Request a Roommate

Updated on March 6th, 2025

Summer 2025 Roommate Request Process

Please note that this roommate request process is new for Summer 2025 and will be discontinued in 2026.

 

Overview

We encourage you to consider whether you truly want to request a roommate you already know. One of the most valuable aspects of the Berklee Summer Programs experience is meeting new people from diverse backgrounds. Roommate requests are never guaranteed. You will meet your roommate(s) on move-in day, and Berklee reserves the right to adjust room assignments as necessary.
