<p>Has anyone had any luck changing their Dorm placement? If so, how did you go about it?</p>
<p>I have. Lucky for me, I wanted to switch out of a dorm that a lot of people want to be in (Markley) for a dorm that not very many people would jump on (Barbour). I found someone on the room swap listings thing and emailed her. Luckily, we were in Ann Arbor at the same time for orientation and just went to the housing office (in the Student Activities Building) then and filled out a few forms. The thing is, to do a swap, both people have to be physically present. You can do it during move-in, though, if you can’t both get there earlier.</p>
<p>you can actually do a remote room swap over the internet with your swapmate and the housing office. email <a href=“mailto:housing@umich.edu”>housing@umich.edu</a> for more help</p>
