NDSU Roommate Success Stories: Rylan and Tyler
Moving away from home and sharing space with a roommate can be an uncomfortable thought for some incoming freshmen. However, NDSU has several resources to make sure first-year students have a positive residence life experience.
Roommates Rylan Swenson and Tyler Heckman, who met through NDSUâs roommate matching website prior to starting classes, were both nervous with the idea of having a roommate. Those fears were quickly diminished when they got to know each other.
Once they moved into their room in Seim Hall, Swenson and Heckman made sure they actively hung out together by participating in Welcome Week activities and attending NDSU football games.
âIf youâre just living with each other, youâre not really going to make a connection. But if you actually put in the effort in spending time with one another and actually making that bond, I feel like itâs really worthwhile,â said Heckman, a business administration major from Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
Both learned of their common interests even before moving into their dorm through My College Roomie, a roommate matching software used by NDSU. The software allows incoming students to create a profile and complete a questionnaire to determine similar interests with other students who also have completed the process.
