"We found the system and set-up to be user-friendly both administratively and for our students. Our student response to RoomSync's process of searching and selecting a roommate within Facebook has been very positive."

Testimonials
Casey Heckler, Director of Student Housing, Hanover College
“RoomSync eliminated the amount of work we had to do regarding roommate changes before students came on campus."
Patricia Whiteman, Associate Director of Residence Life at William Paterson University
"We loved that we could offer our students a service that was based on customer satisfaction. Not only did RoomSync excite our students and parents, the option decreased the usual anxiety of roommate matching since students had an active role in the process. The idea of roommate self-selection on Facebook has even had an impact during admission sessions! We will definitely continue offering such an empowering tool to both our incoming and current students."
Sean Killion, M.B.A. Assistant Director for Assignments & Billing, Temple University
“Prior to using RoomSync, we found that students would go to Facebook to research their assigned roommates, so RoomSync is a natural fit for our housing department. By operating as a Facebook application, residents are excited to select their own roommates on RoomSync and intuitively understand how to use the application with little or no direction.
