<p>You are going to CP as well?? Tell the bi tch the guy is not welcome and that's it. What hall are you in?</p>
<p>peachy, you could be in like a 12x9 or something like that too. Fluppymc, yeah, you have to tell her that that's not going to work.</p>
<p>I told her and she got all nasty on me. She scares me and I am literally terrified of rooming with her I'm talking to housing this week.</p>
<p>Good for you!!!!! I would have wanted to do the same thing, but would have also been really nervous about it. Hopefully housing can reassign you.</p>
<p>talk to housing fluppymc...where would this person sleep,, on the floor, in her bed, what about walk around, changing, all his stuff...</p>
<p>I would talk to housing, because 3 people in a room with the furniture, beds, shelving, desks for 2 people no matter what would be a nightmare logistically even for the best of friends</p>
<p>and for pure safety reasons, he should not be in there...fire codes etc...so what if she is mad, she cares nothing about you already so what would be the difference</p>
<p>your life could be VERY difficult regardless with the guy there, and are they "involved"? cause then you have sex going on more often than the usual cause he would be there every night and then you either have to listen to it or stay out of your room</p>
<p>And, if he is not official, if there sre problems you could get blaimed</p>
<p>is it a coed FLOOR, cause if it is not, it is not fair to the other girls on the floor who may have expected or wanted a single sex floor</p>
<p>around bad situation and it is truly better to nip it in the bud know, because my gut tells me you would be the one banished and uncomfortable for a year...and that will affect grades, etc</p>
<p>I say talk to them Monday...and be straight up, and say they need to deal with it</p>
<p>I can't speak out of specific knowledge here, but most of the high rises at UMD are coed floors. Some are all boy, then all girl I think, but pretty much most are coed floor with a double door in the middle seperating it.</p>
<p>Yes fluppy, definitely talk to housing. This is a veryyyy valid excuse to get a room change, hell, maybe even a change into a completely new hall because if she got nasty when you turned it down, God only knows how crazy she might be.</p>
<p>i'm definitely happy...got my first choice dorm, plus my roommate and i share a TON of interests =D</p>
<p>She can go **** herself, fluppy. Srsly.</p>
<p>Fluppy,
If you have copies of any of the emails from your assigned roommate, forward them to the housing office in support of your complaints to them, and do it right away. This is also a good time to get your parents involved in calling the office of student life at your school. Don't worry one bit about upsetting your rommmate because she has already shown that she does not care about upsetting you. Doesn't the boy have any friends he can crash with? He may not have gotten housing (for whatever reason) byt why hasn't he gotten an apartment or made other arrangements?</p>
<p>fluppy-
stay in my dorm any time. Because it's a single. Because if it were not, we would be creating the situation all over again. How funny would it be if that's how your current situation came to be in the first place?<br>
Anyway, you have the entire Sorbello family behind your back so CALL UMD already and get your corn-shucking ass out of that room.</p>
<p>okay kiddies, update on this whole fiasco:</p>
<p>citygirlsmom - the floor is coed, but the rooms still aren't! She says they are best friends, but who knows what that really means (she also said that he would sleep in her bed...with her).</p>
<p>boysx3 - I asked her if he could stay anywhere else or commute (apparently he lives 3 miles from campus) and she said no it would be easier to stay in our room. easier my butt.</p>
<p>peachy - I WILL get my corn shucking ass out of that room, maybe so far out they'll put me in princeton. I was thinking about how awesome of an admissions essay this would be for when I transfer to UPenn. "I believe my situation was an act of Divine Intervention...even God didn't want me at Maryland"</p>
<p>and the conversation was via facebook (I emailed her and didn't get a response for 2 days so I found her on facebook and she said she never checks her email, understandable), so it's all saved on there. I'm going to say it was an online conversation and paste it into a word file and attach it to the email that I'm sending in like an hour to housing. My father said he would pull me from the school if they make me room with her, and I'm out of state so they are getting A LOT more $$ from me than her.</p>
<p>Good luck with it all. Where would you go if your dad pulled you?</p>
<p>I seriously have no idea. Maybe I could get into the schools that accepted me but I said no to, or the local county college (oh god, not that I have anything against county colleges, but to go from the mindset of moving 2 hours from home to a 4 year school...to commuting 10 minutes away to a 2 year school is just weird). But I have a feeling housing should be able to fix this. I think this situation falls under a special circumstance.</p>
<p>Sounds special to me. If they don't mve you, you could easily blame them for poor grades and a difficult adjustment to college life.</p>
<p>true true. I am getting this thing changed. I just wrote the best email ever. Proofread by our resident princeton-ite peachy haha. My dad is also emailing this lady who works high up in the university he met while on the parents orientation, she got along really well with my parents and they talked for hours and she said to contact her if I run into any trouble about anything at all.</p>
<p>I'm in a room meant for two but will be placed with three because the school accepted more people than they had rooms for. Anyway I'm on the third floor and my dorm, and the rest of the others, are kind of distant from the science building/activity center so that sucks but whatever. I'm curious on my room assignment paper they sent they give a number for any question but I'm wondeirng If I can change my room assignment due to a specific reason ( nothing against the two people)? Is this possible or will they make a big deal asking me all these questions about it? It's already mid-august so I don't even know if they will honor any changes at this point anyway =(</p>
<p>They'll want a GOOD reason for making the change, and they'll most likely tell you to deal with it for the first few weeks, and if it's still not working out, then they'll see about making a change.</p>
<p>I got my first choice hall AND am on the transfer floor...yay!
They also seemed to have matched me up with an awesome roommate. Plus, she's the same age as me (I'm 24 and was VERY worried about having a roommate under the age of 21)!</p>
<p>I'm VERY excited!</p>
<p>I'm not happy..... ;( haha</p>
<p>I'm very happy with my room... I'm on the second floor in a suite, in a corner room (14x16.) I even get along with my roommate... we've been talking a lot on facebook and aim, and we seem to have the same sense of humor, same interests, same partying habits, and same shoe/clothing size. I was worried that I was going to end up with a roommate that was horrible, so my situation is amazing.</p>
