For many University of Michigan students, choosing where to live is only half the challenge. Deciding who to live with can be just as important. As students begin searching for housing for the upcoming academic year and beyond, Oxford Housing is making the process easier with the launch of its free Roommate Matching Program, a personalized service that helps students connect with compatible roommates and housing that fits their needs in Ann Arbor.
Unlike traditional roommate searches that rely on social media, online forums or roommate apps, Oxford Housing’s program begins with a brief online survey that is personally reviewed by members of the Oxford Housing team. Rather than relying on an algorithm, the team thoughtfully matches students based on lifestyle preferences, budgets and housing needs.
The free survey takes less than five minutes to complete and asks questions about living preferences, including noise level, parking needs, pet preferences and other factors that contribute to successful roommate relationships.
Within one business day of submitting the survey, participants receive personalized roommate recommendations, a curated list of available Oxford Housing apartments that fit their needs and assistance scheduling property tours. Participation is free, and there is no obligation to lease through Oxford Housing.
As Ann Arbor’s largest residential property manager, Oxford Housing offers a wide range of housing options throughout the city and has extensive experience helping University of Michigan students find housing that fits their needs.
Students and parents interested in participating can complete the free Roommate Matching Survey in less than 10 minutes. For more information or to complete the Roommate Matching Survey, visit https://oxfordcompanies.com/multifamily/housing-match-survey/.
