Creative Ways to Find Aggie Roommates for Your New City After Graduation
Graduating from Texas A&M University 🎓 is an exciting milestone — and for many Aggies, it means moving to a brand-new Texas city for that first post-grad job or grad school adventure. Whether you’re headed to Dallas, Houston, Austin, or San Antonio, one big question pops up fast: “Who am I going to live with?”
Finding a great roommate can make your new city feel like home instantly. But rather than leaving it to chance or Craigslist, Aggies have some creative, built-in ways to connect with trustworthy, fun, and like-minded roommates — thanks to our powerful Aggie Network ❤️.
Let’s explore some of the best Aggie-approved roommate-finding strategies that will help you find not just someone to split rent with, but a lifelong friend.
👩👧👦 1. Connect Through Aggie Moms Clubs
Your biggest champions — Aggie Moms — might be the most unexpected but effective roommate resource! 💫
Each major Texas city has Aggie Moms Clubs, like the Dallas Aggie Moms, Houston Aggie Moms, Austin Aggie Moms, and San Antonio Aggie Moms. These groups are tight-knit, connected, and love helping fellow Aggies succeed.
Here’s why they’re gold:
-
Moms talk — and they know who’s looking for roommates, moving, or even subletting apartments.
-
Many clubs host Facebook pages or newsletters with posts from recent grads searching for roommates.
-
They’re full of trusted, responsible students and recent grads — a great place to start!
Just post an intro message like:
“Howdy! I’m a recent Class of 2025 grad moving to Dallas this summer for a new job. Looking for an Aggie roommate around Uptown or Addison!”
You’ll be amazed at how quickly moms start networking for you. 🏡
🎓 2. Use Local Aggie Former Student Clubs
After graduation, your Aggie Network keeps working for you through Former Student Clubs across Texas (and beyond). These are active alumni associations that bring together Aggies from every class year for networking, game watches, service events, and social mixers.
Cities with strong clubs include:
-
Dallas A&M Club – hosts monthly “Howdy Hours” 🍻 and professional networking meetups.
-
Houston A&M Club – one of the largest in the state, with tons of events and new grad programs.
-
Austin A&M Club – great for social Aggies and creatives; they meet up often for fun events.
-
San Antonio A&M Club – smaller but friendly and easy to connect through.
Join these clubs’ Facebook pages or email lists, introduce yourself, and you’ll instantly tap into hundreds of Aggies who might also be relocating or know someone who is.
💻 3. Join Facebook Groups for Your Class Year
Facebook is still one of the best tools for connecting with Aggies your age.
Search for groups like:
-
Texas A&M Class of 2024
-
Texas A&M Class of 2025
-
Aggies Moving to Dallas / Austin / Houston
-
Texas A&M Apartment Finder / Roommates
Inside these groups, you’ll find tons of posts like:
“Hey y’all, just got a job in Houston! Looking for a roommate near The Heights — any other new grads?”
You can easily message and video chat before committing to share an apartment. The shared A&M connection makes it feel safer and friendlier from the start.
🤝 4. Ask in Your Major or Organization Group Chats
Remember your group chats, student org Slack channels, or fraternity/sorority circles? Those networks still work for you after graduation!
Post a message about your move — you’d be surprised how many classmates are also heading to the same city. Engineers to Houston, business majors to Dallas, creatives to Austin — there’s always overlap.
Bonus tip: connect through Texas A&M’s LinkedIn Alumni Tool. You can filter by city and year to see who else has moved recently. It’s a professional but personal way to reconnect and potentially room together.
🏙️ 5. Use Howdy Apartments for Aggie Roommate Matches

📱 6. Try Roommate Platforms, Aggie Style
If you want even more options, use Roomi, Bungalow, or Roomster — but keep your search focused by adding “Texas A&M” or “Aggie” to your bio. You’d be surprised how many fellow grads search those keywords!
Example:
“Texas A&M Class of 2025 grad moving to Austin — love cooking, football, and Aggie game days. Looking for a roommate with similar energy!”
Add a friendly photo and quick intro, and you’ll stand out immediately.
