<p>So Berkeley posted the room assignments for the 2010-2011 school year. I'm a freshman, class of 2014. I checked my room assignment and roommate, and immediately logged onto Facebook to see what she was like. And I found out she is going to be a second year next year! Does Berkeley often pair first years with second years? And is there any way to switch because of it? Because I think my first year will be easier and a lot less stressful if I have someone who is just as clueless about college life as I am. Anyone know what I should do? Help? PLEASE?!</p>

<p>Have you messaged your roommate to make sure she’s going to be a sophomore? Some people put the wrong graduating year on Facebook so I’d just double check if you haven’t. Otherwise, that is kind of unusual. I would first see what she’s like and if you think you’ll get along. It might actually come in handy to have someone who can show you around and introduce you to a lot of people. But if you really want to room with another freshman than I would contact Berkeley’s housing office and find out the process for requesting a roommate change. Good luck. :)</p>
<p>Soooo whats the problem? Sophmores are good to know because they often know the ropes and such.</p>
