R1 admits, what have been your thoughts and timeline on finding a roommate given all admitted student experiences have been virtual? My school has a slack channel and a google doc where people have been posting for roommates, but I’m worried about ending up with a really incompatible roommate (even though I know the same scenario could technically happen even if we got to meet people in person). Anyone else having the same concerns?
