 On your housing request, you also need to answer a few questions, which, if you're assigned a double, will be used to pick a roommate for you. The survey has only a few questions about sleep habits, cleanliness, etc. Up until 2007, roommates were then allocated automatically using a matching alogrithm. Starting with the class of 2008, allocation is done by hand, with the computer as a guide.
-According to someone on [[CollegeConfidential]], every year there's some meathead guy who writes on his application "please just don't put me with some fag", and this guy is then assigned a gay roommate. According to the forum user, this is not a coincidence. Furthermore, apparently a very high percentage of freshman roommate pairings are interracial, which again isn't a coincidence. It seemingly all depends on who in the [[housing]] office is assigning people to rooms.<ref>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/columbia-2012/488157-how-roommates-decided.html</ref>

-First year housing is considered to be among some of the best housing available to Columbia students. Most sophomores live in mediocre doubles, and most juniors live in small but decent singles. Only by the time you become a senior will you be more or less guaranteed to get better housing than first years. However, if you are unfortunate in the housing lotteries for soph, junior and senior housing, you may never end up in as nice housing as your first year.
