Conversation Starter with Roommate

We are so excited to see you soon! Just a few weeks until move-in begins! As we move closer to August, we wanted to encourage you to reach out to your roommates to start building connections! Below are instructions and suggested prompts to begin the conversation. Focus this time and energy on connecting with each other and who is bringing which items for your space. There will be plenty of time once you arrive to campus to discuss expectations of living together and what feels best as you make this transition! Your RAs look forward to guiding you through that discussion.

Connecting with your Roommates!

See who your roommates are

Log in to your housing portal

Once you log in to the housing portal, click on "room" at the top. Then select the appropriate term. You will then see a list of other residents assigned to your suite.

Send a message

Via the Housing Portal

Once you see the list of people on the Housing Portal, click "send a message." This will allow you to connect with your roommates through the Portal's messaging feature. This is a great way to introduce yourself!

Exchange contact information

As you feel comfortable

If you feel comfortable, it might be a great idea to exchange phone numbers or create a GroupMe with your roommates. This can ease communication as you approach move-in!

Start to build connections

Some questions to help

• Why did they decide on East Bay as a campus?
• What are they most excited about?
• What classes are they in this semester/what is their major?
• What are some of their favorite interests or hobbies?
• What are your favorite shows or genres of music?

Have something to look forward to

Weeks of welcome info is coming soon

Get excited to explore the campus and all the great ways to connect with the campus during your first weeks! What are some things that you and your roommates are looking forward to?

To help with the flow of the move-in process, we designate your move in time according to the building that you will be moving into, in addition to the floor number.

To determine your building number, you will look at the first number of your room assignment. 

To determine your floor number for buildings 1-9, you will look at the second digit of your room assignment. 
To determine your floor number for building 10, you will look to the third digit of your room assignment.
To determine your floor number for UV (University Village), you will look to the first digit of your room assignment.

Exciting day! You are about to arrive for your Move-In appointment. As you approach University Housing, you can park your car at the designated parking lots or the temporary 5 minute parking. Please start your check-in at the Lassen Housing Office. At this location, you will be provided with your welcome items and apartment keys for your move-In. Once checked in, you can return to your car and move to the closest unloading zone to your apartment.

Preparation

To prepare for your move-in, please remember to pack a photo ID. If you are a returning on-campus housing resident, you will need to bring your Bay card to the Move-In process. Up to two guests will be permitted per resident to assist with the move-in process. We urge no guest under the age of 12.

Resources for You

Residents and their guest(s) will have the opportunity to borrow rolling bins for a designated time to assist with moving personal items. 20 Minutes unloading permits will also be available for temporary parking by designated curbside closest to your community. Should you have questions or inquiries about other accommodations or seek accessibility needs, please contact the Housing office at housing@csueastbay.edu.
