Hey good people! I’m a sophomore Journalism major from Chicago, IL. Dear Roommate excites me because students finally have a platform to voice their roommate troubles. Not only can we uplift voices, but we now have a safe space to build community around those troubles.

Hey y’all! I’m a freshman Jazz Studies major from Atlanta, GA. Dear Roommate excites me because it gives us students a place to vent about housing situations with our peers. Dear Roommate is great to me because it now gives students a way to ask about everything related to Residence Life but with people who are more experienced.
