My daughter is an incoming Freshman at Conn who had been assigned her roommate and dorm room by the college in the beginning of July. She was just notified that they are switching her roommate even though she did not request a change and neither did her roommate. They were told there was a “problem” that needed to be solved and this was their solution. My daughter is rather upset about this as she and the girl who was assigned to be her roommate have bonded and are very happy to be rooming together. Has this happened to anyone else and if so, what did you do? My daughter and her roommate have contacted the housing office and were told they can email their request to stay together and the school will “take it under consideration”. Very frustrating situation!
