Policies + Disclosures

RISD does not restrict the gender of roommates in upper-level housing. This means that a male student and a female student can choose to live together in a double room. However, roommates of the opposite sex are never randomly assigned. The Residence Life Office will only honor a request mutually made by both parties.
