<p>The college I'm at lets you switch your room (if you find someone you want to switch with) after 2 weeks of being at school. My friend (more than casual acquaintance yet not a close friend) is going here too, and he got a bad roommate who he doesn't match up with at all. He wants to switch into a room with me, but there's a problem. The roommate i got is okay, he's a little strange but who's to judge? I know there could so much worse. I love the positioning of my dorm, the RAs are really cool, and i really like the layout of my room. The thing is that i'm in another dorm than my friend, and i really don't like the setup of that dorm's rooms. What do i do? I hate to leave the guy hanging, but my situation seems pretty ideal for me at the moment. Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Say" I’ve already bonded with my roommate, the RAs and the people on my hall. Hope you and your roommate work it out. Sorry, bro."
Don’t let him guilt you into changing. You like your setup.
It’s his problemo, don’t make it yours.</p>
<p>Tell him you don’t want to switch roommates…?</p>
<p>Seems kind of basic. </p>
<p>It’s not that serious. It’s not like you just refused to give him bone marrow and he’s about to die or something.</p>
<p>You like your current room and don’t mind your roommate. I don’t see any reason to switch. I don’t think it’s an act of selfishness v. selflessness.</p>
<p>Perhaps you could pitch it as an attempt to strengthen the friendship instead of risking it, given the horror stories about friends who became enemies. It doesn’t matter whether that fear really has any validity.</p>
<p>Say one of the most important things about college to you is branching out and meeting new people. Having a roommate you already know kind of goes against that idea</p>
<p>Thanks for the quick responses guys! Yeah you all make good points, i guess i’m just too sacrificing of a person haha</p>
