<p>I was just accepted to FSU and when I applied for housing, I got priority number 428. One of my friends was also accepted and asked me to room with her, but her priority number is in the 2800s. We both put the same four dorm choices (Reynolds, Landis, Cawthon, Gilchrist) and we both put the same type of dorm (Double w/bath), but I'm not sure if I should go back and change my application from No Roommate Preference to rooming with her. </p>
<p>I'll lose my priority number if I ask for her as my roommate, right? What are the chances we will get into one of those dorms (preferably Reynolds) and we will get a double room if I change my roommate preference to being with her?</p>
<p>Are you in the honors program? Landis is the honors dorm and Gilchrist is the overflow for honors from what I have heard. If you want to be in the honors dorm, I don’t know that you should change your preference and lose your priority number. If you don’t care about being in the honors dorm, then I guess it does not matter.</p>
<p>Reynolds might work as lots of students do not want to sign the no alcohol pledge as the pledge is 24/7/365 even if you are not in the dorm. They take it seriously, and if you are seen drinking elsewhere, your dorm contract could be cancelled. Also, double with bath is a double with a private bath, and there may not even be any in Reynolds. A double (not otherwise specified) is always suite-style in Reynolds, meaning it is a bath between two rooms. I would change the double with bath to double. And only list Landis if you BOTH are in honors. Otherwise, you might be OK for those 4 even with her number. (But Landis only if you are both Honors).</p>
<p>You can change your preference WITHOUT loosing your respective priority numbers, but if you list your friend, they will use the higher number of the two of you.</p>
<p>I was accepted into honors but she wasn’t, and I’m not sure yet if I want to be in it or not. I think I’ll join the program, but I would still rather be Reynolds than Landis. But I’m still worried we won’t get into any of those halls if I put her as my preferred roommate.</p>
<p>If I don’t put her as my preferred roommate, is there any way we could change rooms later and be together, once we both have our housing assignments? Like if I get into Reynolds and she doesn’t, is there any way she could switch to Reynolds later on, like if somebody else switches out of it?</p>
<p>And thank you for the double information! I wasn’t sure what the difference was, so I put double with bath, but I will change it to just a double. I’d rather have that anyways.</p>
<p>Hard to know what to tell you. If she is not Honors, they will not place her in Landis, period. And with the three left, you may not get in together with a 2800 priority number. </p>
<p>You may be inclined to meet new friends easier if you don’t room with someone you know. My D elected to room with a friend. They had gone to grade school and middle school together, but went to different high schools. D thought that a known roommate was safer than a random assignment. It was not exactly comfortable once they got there. D is outgoing, joined a sorority, and had no problems meeting people. Roomie often didn’t leave the room until D got there to “go with” to go to the dining hall, etc. That was a surprise and it made things awkward. </p>
<p>You have plenty of time to change your preferences.</p>
<p>Oh okay Im would like to stay in Reynolds as well but for the Pre-Health Living Community but either way I still have to commit to the Wellness agreement which I have no problem doing. But i think since you are in Honors you have to stay in Landis</p>
<p>You absolutely DO NOT have to live in Landis if you accept the Honors Program invitation. Landis only houses 400 or so students, and there are many more than that in Honors.</p>
<p>OKAY sweetie key word was I THINK, i didnt say I KNOW you didnt have to be rude about it, putting your words in caps was definately not called for and petty!</p>
<p>Wow, Fsubound, you sure are touchy! I used caps to make those words stand out, not to be rude and petty. Grow up!</p>
<p>Maybe you should let people who are students here give out information if you aren’t willing to do the research to get the correct answers. Or at least not get insulted when you are corrected!</p>
<p>Wow I’m the one who’s petty?! Chick you just sat here and wrote a paragraph about what I need to do. Maybe you should take the time and research the definition of petty. Just in case you didn’t know it means being immature and childish, you attacking my comment in caps was petty. All you had to do is make your comment and go about your jolly way. I’m not touchy or sensitive I just don’t take ish from people especially those who I don’t know. So how about you worry about you and I’ll worry about me, because if you havent realized not only actual students have commented on this page. Thank you and have a great petty day! :)</p>
<p>Uh, this isn’t directed at anyone in particular or anything, but people often use caps simply to make their words stand out, and you shouldn’t be offended when someone corrects you (especially if they don’t even insult you)</p>
<p>Oh and this also isn’t directed at anyone in particular, but you can use the tags [ i ] for italics <a href=“without%20the%20spaces”> / i </a> or replace the i’s with b’s to make them bold. People usually don’t take it as offensively since using caps is generally considered “e-yelling” by a lot of people.</p>
