<p>I filled out my housing application about 10 weeks ago, and am curious about the outcome. I only put one dorm on the application, the Briscoe coop. Because I am an exchange student will I get what I asked for? Or if the coop is full, will they just put me somewhere else?</p>
<p>Unfortunately it’s going to be quite some time before you are notified of where you’re going to be living. They usually don’t give out housing assignments until summertime, but I think those who specify learning communities and such are notified earlier. Since you applied so early I don’t have any doubt that you’ll get the coop as you requested.</p>
<p>I’ve actually applied for the Jan semester, so I’ll be over there in about 2 months time. I should be finding out about housing relatively soon right?</p>
<p>Oh well in that case, yes you should. Hahaha. But if you don’t get it soon I would call RPS asap.</p>
<p>I would bug RPS as often as you can about that. Briscoe especially is hectic this year because it is under construction. Don’t worry though, if you don’t get into the co-op there will be space for you somewhere.</p>
<p>A friend told me that his son had to stay in someone else’s dorm on weekends so that his roommate could be with his girl friend. Is this against IU rules?</p>
<p>He can’t get kicked out of his own room. As long as he was OK with moving, then no, nothing was against the rules. But he can have his girlfriend over whenever, as long as the roommate was OK with it, since there is a 24 hour visitation policy. But by no means did he have to stay in somebody else’s room.</p>

This situation is very common. First and foremost his rights come before those of his roommates girlfriend, if he doesn’t want her there, then she can’t be there. The IU rules for visitation and overnight guests are THE stickiest in all of housing. They don’t speak about opposite gender or any specifics. This is a complete list of the rules regarding guests. Check area’s A and C.</p>

<p>Your friend’s son’s rights come first, so he can easily say no and if his roommate continues, he can take it up with his RA. If that doesn’t work then he can go to the center desk and speak with the people there. I will add that the registration of guests rule is a joke and is enforced only during big weekends, if at all. Though when I was an RA we did use it for a case just like the one you are describing. So his son does have options if he wishes to exercise them.</p>
