Hi I am a freshman and I decided to transfer schools for the spring semester.
I was wondering how I should tell my roommate? We are in a triple and the other one just moved out. We have only two weeks left in the semester so i feel like i left it kind of late to tell her.
Any ideas how I should bring it up? She had no idea that i was thinking of transferring and thinks i love the school.
I brought most of the electronics so I would be taking away the fridge and stuff like that and we get along great so i feel like she will be upset that i am leaving.
Just do it. What her impressions of regarding your feelings on the school are probably due to what you have * said * and shown to her.
Being upfront, as you clearly are concerned about her impressions of you and also of her feelings, is the very best thing to do. Consider how she would feel were she to show up at school only to find the university had placed two others with her, or moved her entirely because you have left.
You do not owe her an explanation, but you really should let her know where things stand.
Just tell her that you were looking into transferring and found an opportunity. Also tell her that you will miss her and hope for both of you to find good roommates. Do tell that life wouldn’t be same and you are somewhat afraid of change but hoping for a good outcome. She’ll be okay. Give her a small parting gift and best wishes.
