<p>my daughter is not happy in the dorms, which are full every year,
at cal poly, any clue as to how to get money back?</p>
<p>Have you paid for the dorms for the whole year or just the semester? If you havn't paid for second semester, and other freshmen are allowed to live off campus, I can't imagine it would be incredible difficult. However if freshmen are required to live on campus I you can't get out of it. Could she be happier if she moved to a different dorm?</p>
<p>Yeah I agree with maybe trying to change rooms. I think your best option would be to call the schools housing administration and speak to them about the situation.</p>

<p>no, the best option is for your DAUGHTER to go talk to housing (or perhaps her RA) about it. Parents shouldn't have much to do with the whole dorms situation, no matter how bad it gets. A little support, a friendly ear for the inevitable roommate complaints, but pleeeeeease don't call the school and "make it all better" for her. I'm not sure that that was your intention, or allena's but.....there are some parents out there that need to hear it.</p>
<p>Actually I just reread the post and did not even notice that it was a parent. I totally agree with CMUGal, your daughter should be the one to deal with this situation.</p>
<p>I agree. She is old enough to handle these kind of things on her own anyway (I would assume she is around 18 or older).</p>
<p>Yeah - she should speak to the resident director of her building, who she will likely have to go through if she wants to get out of her housing contract.</p>
