Why Roompact?

Roompact was established in 2013 as a family-owned business answerable only to its clients, not to any investors. We are the leading provider of software for residence life and residential education departments across the country. Roompact is also the only company in the space to focus exclusively on residence life and education. Because of this, we aim for sophistication and depth in our software solutions that no other company provides.

Roompact is relied upon by hundreds of thousands of users from around the United States every day. We partner with public and private institutions ranging in resident populations of 500 to 15,000+ students. We also work with schools with a diverse array of engagement and learning models and provide specialized tools for the unique needs of schools that utilize KCE and/or curricular models.

Roompact employs experts from the fields of student affairs and technology, and our team has decades of combined experience and advanced degrees in our field. Our staff includes faculty for the Institute on the Curricular Approach (formerly the Residential Curriculum Institute), and for ACUHO-I’s Professional Standards Institute, National Housing Training Institute, and more.

ACUHO-I Industry Partner 2026

Roompact has supported ACUHO-I and regional affiliates since its founding. Roompact was the recipient of the 2018 MACUHO Vendor of the Year Award and the 2023 ACPA Foundation Outstanding Corporate Partner Award. Additionally, Roompact was a founding sponsor of the Institute on the Curricular Approach (formerly the Residential Curriculum Institute) as well as a founding sponsor of ACUHO-I’s Academic Initiatives Conference (now the Residential Education Conference).

B-Corp Certified

Roompact is currently the only B Corp certified company in the housing and residence life space. This underscores our commitment to transparency and social responsibility.

We Are Neutral

Roompact annually offsets all of its carbon usage that can’t be reduced or eliminated through other means.

Roompact started and remains a family-owned business dedicated to doing right by its employees and the campuses we serve. We seek to develop long term collaborative relationships with our campus partners that improve the experience of students and the educators that work with them. Our mission is to empower the work of residence life staff members by providing modern and flexible software specifically designed for their everyday work.

Why do schools use Roompact?

Most universities and colleges have a Housing Management System (HMS) that handles the housing applications and assignment of residents on campus. Although an HMS helps with housing operations logistics, residence life and engagement is an afterthought, or an add-on, lacking in the robustness advanced residence life programs need.

Oftentimes, residence life departments rely on general tools that are purchased at a campus level. Student staff members will log interactions and notes in disparate places such as Microsoft 365, Google Forms, or Qualtrics. They may also use tools that are designed for the needs of different functional areas, such as solutions designed for student activities. This leads to scattered information that is difficult and time consuming to find or use. It creates inefficient processes that lead to more administrative work for staff members and missed opportunities for interventions with students. There are additional gaps in these solutions since they were not designed with the unique goals of residence life in mind. These tools are not purpose-built for residence life and education. Roompact is.

Roompact provides dedicated residence life software that places residents, and the work of resident advisors and resident directors, at the center. Roompact is an all-in-one platform that simplifies processes and brings all of a department’s data in one place, allowing professionals to easily access and make connections and gain insights through data–all in support of students. Roompact becomes a central hub that allows staff to engage in diverse actions from to logging interactions to facilitating roommate agreements to communicating with residents.

Making sure your data is clean and consistent can save staff members tons of time. Roompact has a number of tools that not only ensure better data consistency, but also allow you to view your data in multiple ways, which can aid in assessment and evaluation. The software helps departments build confidence that data will be usable and available for quick or prolonged analysis.
