<p>i think i'm just going to trust in cornell. not that they have a lot to work with, considering how not-so-detailed that token survey was. </p>
<p>how hard is it to get a new roommate if you dislike yours? more importantly, can anyone give me a % for how successful random pairings are?</p>
<p>Bump.
<p>Because college quantifies successful pairings.</p>
<p>Just out of curiosity, how can you dislike someone you’ve never met? :p</p>
<p>^I do that all the time</p>
<p>^I believe OP meant after he/she had spent a couple of weeks with them.</p>
<p>^That only raises the question: how can can you dislike someone you barely know? ;)</p>
<p>These were the 2010-2011 academic year house rules with regard to room changes (I suspect the rules won’t change too much).</p>
<p>
Room Change Requests:</p>
<p>-Any resident wishing to apply for a room change must first contact the RHD, ARHD or House Assistant Dean. During the first three weeks of each semester, residents may apply for a room change, but requests will not be processed until the Housing and Dining Contracts Office completes their room census to determine vacancies, which may take up to a month after Opening. Once a student receives another assignment he/she must sign a new housing contract. Students are not able to move until they receive authorization from the Housing & Dining Contracts Office. Moving prior to this notification may result in disciplinary action. </p>
<p>-Residents requesting direct room switches with another resident must not move or take possession of the new room until they have received official authorization from the Housing & Dining Contracts Office and all residents involved have signed a new housing contract. Each resident involved in a direct switch must come to the Housing & Dining Contracts Office together to sign new room contracts.</p>
<p>-There is a $100 fee for student-initiated room change requests including direct room switches. </p>
<p>-If a student switches rooms without permission, he/she could lose the right to live on campus and other disciplinary action could be taken.

<p>colorred: Why the pessimism? Are you just not the social type? Treat them like you want to be treated. Do you want your future roomie to be suspicious of you at this point like you are of him?</p>
<p>this is like asking for a pre-nuptual agreement to be signed at the close of the first date…</p>
<p>And I don’t think they hand out surveys at the end of freshman year asking :"did you dislike your roomie? " And then publishing the tabulated results.</p>
