Good question. I found that the front offices will share a lot of info but you

Could also do a little detective work. When my sons were moving out of state I always had them start with the local institute or YSA ward and get as much info as they could. They usually found a couple of people looking for a roommate. I know BYU is a different scenario. I’d push the front office for lots of info.

for a freshmen though? i always thought freshmen should be together in the dorms making friends.

For the single room, off campus is your best bet.

I don't, but with all the missionaries coming home early you need to move fast.

Heritage is full already, at least for girls. My freshman-to-be daughter is looking for housing right now

Same with my daughter. You’re looking for an apartment over Helaman? Why is that?

She wants to cook, not do a meal plan.
