finding one more roommate at this late date?

<p>Just got a call from my kid. One of the roommates that had signed up earlier this year is failing school, so will likely be out on the other three for a room on Union street. There's now a mad scramble on trying to find new room mate, which at this point will be tough because it's so close to the deadline, and they all have no idea what to do. They're not comfortable about having housing assign them someone at random. I'm worried that the other two are going to lose their minds and bail out of everything completely, leaving my kid alone without anyone.</p>

<p>Any idea of what the best course of action is? I said to contact Union Street directly, and find out who might be looking for a room mate and talk to all of them to make a decision.</p>

<p>Do they have any other friends who might be living alone and want to join? Can they shrink to a 3-person room, or boot another person and go down to a double?</p>
