Changing Room mate Preference Question for Bedtime

<p>Ahhhh, I was wondering if I could change my room mate preference question that asks what time I usually go to bed to around 12. I put I go to bed after 12 and I'm afraid I'll get room mates that never want to go to sleep.</p>

<p>12 seems so earily. Give it a year or so I bet that moves a lot later!</p>

<p>That's a bad idea, because people who put after 12 will sleep at 6. (maybe a bit extreme) As a fact, no one will sleep earlier than their reported times.</p>

<p>If you're stuck with this idea, there is a roomate contract in the beginning of the year where you agree to respect one another during sleep schedules.</p>

<p>Normally, people sleep ~2+ hours past their high school sleeping schedules.
(ex. 12AM -> 2AM).</p>

<p>How can I change it? I already accepted my offer (triple de neve), and partially paid for my room. And yeah I have a lot of friends that don't sleep until the next day morning, and I don't want a room mate that does that.</p>

<p>Once you've accepted your offer, I believe you cannot change your room. (someone can verify this). I do know that by the end of a quarter, if your roomates and you cannot get along DESPITE talking over the sleeping times and agreeing, you may file a room switch.</p>

<p>I read somewhere that you can change your room in the first few weeks.</p>

<p>Is that true? It was from an older thread. I'm in De Neve by the way.</p>

<p>You can change your roommate preferences by going to the ask housing page and telling them what changes you want to make.</p>

<p>when they assigned buildings did they already assign roommates but not release it yet? cause the two other people i requested both got the same building so it seems like they've assigned already but not released it</p>

<p>i don't think they've actually assigned rooms/roommates at this point, because this is when so many students are submitting CARs that lots of them get moved about anyway. it's easier to assign everyone en masse to de neve, or a bunch to rieber, and assign rooms later than to try doing that so early on. </p>

<p>also, uclayay, keep in mind that your bedtime WILL change. and if yours doesn't, your roommates' will. so it's a bit arbitrary what you put on the form. i put 10-12 because i didn't want a roommate who partied and came back at 4am to sleep. i ended up being the roommate who regularly stayed up the latest (not because of partying, just general preference).</p>

<p>the most important thing is not whether you all go to bed around the same time, but whether your sleeping habits are compatible. even though i went to bed late, i took care never to disturb my roommates (turned off the light, used headphones, typed quietly). my roommates also fell asleep to their ipods so that was a bit of a noise-blocker. </p>

<p>unfortunately my roommates did not seem to know how (or care) to reciprocate, so they would ALWAYS wake me up early in the morning with talking/hairdryers/alarms and whatnot. some of it was inevitiable. some could have been easily avoided but was not. so go figure... anyways it's over now. so just try to work things out. it's not when people sleep that's the issue, it's when they're disruptive that matters.</p>

<p>yeah i go to bed so late now its weird. i was always the party pooper in HS during weekdays going to bed at 11. now i go to bed at 2-3.</p>

<p>i am 90% sure that you are not going to be sleeping before 1AM on a regular basis. It doesn't matter what you put down. before college, i used to sleep at around 11-12PM. My usual time now is 3-4AM</p>

<p>junior year i did the 10pm, then senior year stretched out to midnight, I usually go to bed between midnight and 2:30 at UCLA, in part because of everything happening around me.</p>
