How Do I Change My Dorm?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>I saw the profiles of my roommates and it's the complete opposite of my own. I'm stuck with four guys in a townhouse way up campus away from the ILR buildings, I know I'm probably not going to enjoy it much and am trying to find ways to study abroad to get away if I can't change my dorm hall.</p>

<p>Does anybody know how I can switch before I'm stuck with this for the year? I'd really prefer to be on the West Campus in House 4 if possible. Has anybody successfully changed before or is it fruitless? I'm a transfer fyi.</p>

<p>Please don't bother telling me how the townhouses are fine and whatnot, I'd appreciate constructive comments on getting out.</p>

<p>About 2 weeks into the semester you can inquire about available rooms on West (the housing office does a room census). If you can find a room, you pay a $100 fee and the switch happens. Keep in mind that priority will most likely go to students who were placed in temporary housing (those placed in lounges).</p>

<p>Also...I heard somewhere that you can't do a semester abroad until you have at least 30 (or is it 60) credits.....but don't take my word for it.</p>
