Our Experience
Our Story
From furniture to software, we have been making lives easier for college students and administrators alike since 2012.
Started by three Dartmouth roommates, Roomie's initial mission was to reduce end of year waste and emissions through renting furniture to students living on and off-campus.
When COVID hit in 2020, many of our partner institutions did not return to campus, which meant empty residence halls for the first (and hopefully last) time ever.
With the goal of making lemonade out of some very sour lemons, we surveyed 75k+ students and our campus partners and learned there was an opportunity to dramatically improve the existing college move-in process for students and administrators alike via better room visibility. We soon started scanning every unique residential floor plan and make a to-scale 3D model of not just a standard room within a floor plan, but every single unique room. That's when present-day Roomie was born.
Easier and more confident move-in planning promotes sustainability & equity and saves administrators thousands of calls and emails. Roomie makes move-in easy and fun for tenants, and less stressful for Administrators and Property Managers – a true win-win-win!”
