In Britain, university students almost always have their own rooms, but in America it is quite usual for two students to share a bedroom. There, if a student applies early enough to get a place in university-run accommodation, he / she is usually asked to supply information regarding the kind of prospective roommate he / she likes, information concerning personality, habits, ethnicity, etc.

Some universities also provide a limited number of self-catering apartments to students, especially to graduates and professional students who may have their spouse with them. If students are unsuccessful in obtaining a place in the university-run accommodation, they may have to consider private housing off-campus. And the best place to go for assistance is the housing office of the university, which usually maintains a bulletin complete with a map of the city, realtors’ names, rates, and locations of apartments.
