About

Welcome to ShareSpace, the central app revolutionizing the campus housing experience at UMass! ShareSpace aims to create a vibrant community where student preferences are prioritized to foster better matches and enhance the overall living environment. We collaborate closely with UMass Housing to ensure seamless integration with university housing policies, providing you with a comprehensive solution for finding compatible roommates.

Features

Preference-Based Matching:

ShareSpace offers an interactive survey where you can input your preferences, interests, and lifestyle choices. We take into consideration a wide range of factors to connect you with like-minded students who share similar preferences and values.

Seamless Interaction:

Once connected with potential roommates, ShareSpace enables you to interact and get to know each other better. Through our platform, you can chat, exchange information, and even schedule meetups to discuss your compatibility as roommates.

Roommate Compatibility:

ShareSpace's goal is to help you find the best match for your next semester's living arrangement. By connecting with students who have similar beliefs and interests, we aim to reduce the likelihood of conflicts and create a more harmonious living environment.

Improved Mental Health:

We firmly believe that a positive living environment contributes to overall mental well-being. ShareSpace seeks to mitigate difficult situations that may arise between students with contrasting beliefs or interests. By fostering compatibility and understanding, we aim to enhance the overall mental health and happiness of the student body.

How to Get Started

Visit our website and create an account with your UMass email. Rest assured, we prioritize data privacy and protect your personal information.

Complete the Survey:

Take the interactive survey to provide us with your preferences, interests, and lifestyle choices. The more details you provide, the better we can match you with compatible roommates.

Connect and Interact:

Once we find potential matches, you can start connecting with them through our platform. Engage in conversations, share experiences, and get to know each other better to determine if you'd like to room together.

Make Your Decision:

After interacting with your potential roommates, it's time to decide whether you want to live together in the upcoming semester. Discuss your expectations, living habits, and any concerns to make an informed choice that suits both parties.
