The best thing to do is to find your arrival date's Facebook page and join! This way you're connecting with people that will be moving in the same day as you. Apparently, there is something new this year that you do not have to room with people from your move in day, but I find it is easier to coordinate if everyone is arriving on the same day.
The best advice that I can give you is to talk to everyone! Don't just talk to those who look great in their survey. Not only could you find someone that you click with, but these people could be living across the hall from you or you could be working with them. Everyone is excited and it's a great way to start meeting the people that you are going to be living around for the next 3-6 months! Also, be honest. If you're not comfortable with a few people after you've been talking, just say you want to go in a different direction. Or if you're really looking to live in a 6 or 8 person apartment, make sure to let any potential roommates know your preferences. You don't want to settle for something that after a month, you're not going to be happy with.
The housing preferences portal only opens 10 days before your arrival date. Take you're time in finding someone that you mesh with for a roommate, and spend time meeting everyone else and sharing in the excitement together! As they say in High School Musical:
