<p>Hi everyone, I have a question regarding additional recommendations. I am a junior, and spent the fall semester this year (four months) doing a semester school program. I developed an extremely close relationship with my dorm parent. He was an art teacher at the school, but I didn't take his course. However, I've talked to him so many times about personal problems and would visit at least half an hour every day, more on weekends. After the program has ended, he and I still talk over Facebook pretty frequently. Needless to say, he is probably one of the few adults (besides my parents) that know me exceptionally well -- he understands what I'm good at and my shortcomings and concerns as well.</p>
<p>My question is, would I be able to ask him for a recommendation (an additional/personal recommendation). I think he would be able to say some wonderful things about my personal qualities in a non-academic setting (again, he was my dorm parent). My friends who are asking for additional recs usually get them from a coach, pastor, or employer, so I was wondering if this would also qualify.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone!</p>
