The Instagram Roommate Hunt

College roommates are now being recruited via Instagram—yes, really. Incoming freshmen are staging “casual” photo dumps: beach pics for outdoorsy vibes, blurry group shots for social proof, and dog selfies to signal nurturing tendencies. Bios? Keep them vague—“undecided but maybe neuroscience or commerce,” “love going out but also staying in.” Avoid niche hobbies. Flex housing or club connections subtly to look effortlessly prepared. And always play it cool—DM everyone, but caption like you’re just casually open to chatting. It’s roommate hunting, but with a full-blown social media performance.
