Making LSU Home
After you submit your enrollment deposit and activate your myLSU account, complete your housing application and agreement or request an exemption to the live-on requirement in the housing portal.
The date you submit the housing agreement determines your priority for room assignment/selection.
The priority housing agreement completion date is May 3, 2024. The assignments team will make room assignments for students who submit a housing agreement May 4, 2024, and later.
Once you've made LSU your choice, submit your non-refundable required enrollment deposit in your LSU Admissions Portal to save your spot in the incoming class.
MyLSU is a personalized online resource center for all deposited LSU students.

Until you can log in to the housing portal in myLSU, research where you'd like to live on campus.
You won't enter an exact building name on the housing application, like Miller Hall or Azalea Hall, but you will tell us if you prefer to live in a traditional housing option or have a living-learning experience in a residential college.
If you change you mind later, email housing@lsu.edu to update your application.
The housing portal opens on December 4, 2023, at 10 a.m. CST for 2024-25 applications and exemption requests.

- Submit the housing application and academic-year housing agreement, and submit the $75 non-refundable fee, or

Roommate Finder in the Housing Portal
Sometimes called “online dating for roommates,” the Roommate Finder service compares
students’ profile answers and suggests compatible roommates with the same housing
preference (residential college or traditional housing).
- Roommate Finder has no impact on housing priority. Housing room assignment priority is always based on when you submit your housing application and agreement.
- You can view students’ profiles, look for personal contact info and social media handles in their bio, or message roommates through the housing portal.
- Participation is optional. Many students opt for a random roommate, which is fine!
- If you already know your preferred roommates, you can search by their myLSU username.
- Answer the questions on the “My Profile” page in the housing application to help you find compatible roommates.
- Be honest in your answers and be open to meeting new people.
- Students should complete the questionnaire, not their parents.
Who You See
Students must have an active housing application to participate in Roommate Finder.
Potential roommate options will increase as more students are admitted and commit
to LSU.
Your preferred roommates must have the same housing preference as you.
- For example, students in the Engineering Residential College can only request other students who are also in the Engineering Residential College. If you indicated a preference to live in traditional housing options, you’ll only be able to search for and invite roommates who are also interested in traditional housing options.
If you request to change your housing preference, the potential roommates you see
may change.
Preferred Roommate Group
Your group can have up to four (4) members. These are the people you want to have
as roommate(s) or suitemate(s).
Being in a preferred roommate group does not guarantee you'll be together but just indicates who you'd prefer to live with.
You can only be in one preferred roommate group at a time.
Group Leader: Change the group order, change who the group leader is, send messages, and view member profiles. If you decide to leave the group, you must make someone else the new group leader.
Group Member: You can view member profiles, send messages, or leave the group.
Join Group: Search for an existing roommate group.
Search for Roommates by myLSU ID: If you know a friend’s myLSU ID (username), search
to quickly find them.
Suggested Roommates: These results are based on the answers you provided on your profile
page.
Preferred Roommate Groups in Traditional Housing vs. Residential Colleges
Traditional Housing Options
One member is designated as the group leader. This person is responsible for choosing
a space on campus and placing everyone from the preferred roommate group into the
open beds of that space during self-room selection.
Students living in traditional housing options should complete their preferred roommate
group by May 26, 2024.
Once you get your room selection time slot, make sure to adjust the group leader to
whoever has the earliest time slot to choose your room earlier.
During room selection, the group leader can only place people from their preferred
roommate group into available beds.
If the group leader doesn’t place all members into available bed spaces, each student
can log in at their assigned time slot and choose a bed space, regardless of if/where
their group members have gone.
Residential Colleges
For residential college students, preferred roommate groups will be used to place
you in your residential college building with preferred roommates and suitemates by
our Assignments Team.
Rank your preferred roommate as the first roommate and preferred suitemates as the
third and fourth roommates in the group. This helps our team get the right people
in the right rooms.
Students in residential colleges should complete their preferred roommate group by May
12, 2024.
