<p>I am a male from Salt Lake City, Utah (and no, I’m not mormon) and I am going to be going to California Polytechnic in the Fall for electrical engineering. I am planning on living in the Cerro Vista Apartments and I am looking for some roommates. About myself, I am pretty easy going and like to play computer games. I also like to exercise everyday and it would be great if I could find someone who likes to hike or mountain bike.</p>
<p>Hi! I’m a girl so can’t room with you, but you like like a fun guy! Good luck! :)</p>
<p>seem like** hahah</p>
<p>Hey what’s up,</p>
<p>My name is Kyle. You sound exactly like me. Cerro Vista, honors, sports, staying fit, everything. I know it’s too late but I saw this thread and thought I would introduce myself</p>
<p>Hi all,
My D will be starting at Cal Poly SLO in a few weeks and just found out this morning that her roommate is someone she knows from High School. Neither of the girls is happy about this, as they wanted to meet a new person (and they are not friends). They worked closely together in leadership and had personality conflicts. We can’t figure out how this happened and Cal Poly says the girls will have to wait 2 weeks to change, assuming they can find someone willing to switch…any suggestions? I’m trying to convince my D that it will all work out, but she is really upset. She had a roommate all worked out earlier, but that friend ended up going to UC Davis at the last minute, so housing has been a real bummer for her. She also really wanted Sierra Madre and was placed in Yosemite.</p>

<p>I am so sorry for the rough start your Daughter is having with the roommate situation.
I am sure being in Yosemite will be fine, but having a roommate you already have problems with is not good. I hope the girls can hang in there for the two weeks and show each other mutual respect and kindness. Hopefully they will be able to trade when the 2 weeks are up. Remind your daughter that she can make a lot of friends in other rooms too. This is hard for parents too because we want our kids to feel excited about meeting new friends and we hope that roommates will work out. Best of luck to the girls. Maybe the change of scenery will help them. It’s hard to not be happy moving in to Cal Poly SLO!</p>
<p>My sister was able to change roommates in Sierra Madre during WOW week a few years ago. The RAs helped facilitate the switch. It helped that both girls were proactive in finding other girls who wanted to switch also.</p>
<p>on the bright side, it will force her to go out and do things outside her dorm like study at library go to gym etc, which will help her meet new people and keep her from being in her dorm all day. That is a bummer though</p>
<p>Well from my experience things do change in college. Relationships with people from high school are different. While she should still work on getting a new room, it’s also important to go into this with a good attitude.A change of scenery can really change things, so you never know what may happen. For the two weeks they must live together, remember that the most important thing is to respect the other person. You don’t have to like them or be close friends with them or agree with them, but you must still treat them as you want to be treated.</p>
<p>Very well said NTK17. Exactly what I was hoping to get across. Not all roommates will be best buddies, but you can treat them in a kind and respectful way. I think starting off with a roommate that you already know and don’t like very much is tough. There is no “honeymoon period” where you get to know each other and give the person a chance. It would be best to trade rooms. Talking to RAs is a good start.</p>
