I feel like i got shafted

<p>Well up until now ive been living in a temporary triple which has sucked for the most part. Anyway we got offered one of us to move to a double but its in another dorm building. Since my two roomates will be rooming together next year Ill be the one who moves out, which makes sense but i still feel like i got shafted. I'm not the kind of guy who makes friends easily and my 3 closest friends (really my only real friends in college) rite now live in my current dorm hall. Now i have to move to another dorm hall that is a decent distance from my current one. Im just afriad that ppl will think that ive been living in this new dorm since the beginning of the year but just never noticed me. I guess meeting new ppl is good but i feel like everybody will kno each other already :&lt;/p>

<p>Well if the triple sucked, and not having your friends sucks, doesn't that sort of cancel out?</p>

<p>You'll make more friends, and it's not like you can't get out with your old friends to hang out.</p>

<p>go to the RA and confess that this is not easy for you..........and ask(wow, novel idea) that you be introduced around as this might not happen on your very own. NOW, I do appreciate the fact that you "know" yourself--that is a good thing--just do something unusual or out of character for you--like talk to the RA or buy a huge box of donuts and walk around the first day and hand them out and say, Hi, I am new. I am a therapist and I actually teach this as "donut therapy"---good luck and keep us posted.</p>

<p>I don't see why it should be you that moves out, but maybe it's me. If you are feeling this way about the change, you should make it clear.</p>

<p>Why don't you stop by the housing dept. tomorrow. Explain to them that you don't want to move out of your dorm. They may be able to rearrange it so you can de-triple within your current dorm. Just go tomorrow and talk with housing. Housing deals with these kinds of situations all of the time. They want you to be happy so take the time to talk with them. Say that you would like to wait to be de-tripled until an opening arises in your current dorm.</p>

<p>I'm the one who's moving out because my two roommates are rooming together next year. Plus I cant really decide not to move out, because a) the current situation is just not working, there's just not enough room for 3 ppl one of us is a pretty big football player and his clothes is everywhere on the floor because we only have 2 closets and 3 dressers b) 1 of us HAS to move out eventually, we are offered two times, so i can decline this first offer but eventually im gonna have to, so i feel like if take this early offer itll be easier to make friends in the new dorm.
I just talked with my new roommate to be and he seems pretty chill so hopefully work out.</p>

<p>Well, the decision is yours. You can either talk with housing about waiting until an opening arises in your current dorm or jump at your current offer and move out.</p>

<p>Maybe you can go check out your possible new dorm again and ask the guys on your future floor what they think of the dorm and the people living in the dorm. Ask them this question---"If you were me, would you rather live in a triple in ......Hall or move to a double in this dorm and why?" Talk with your new possible roommate again to get a feel for his personality--ask him if the guys are sociable in the dorm and ask him about anything that concerns you. If you feel that it's better than the situation you're currently in, then take the chance and move. </p>

<p>Either decision will probably be OK in the long run so don't worry too much about it. Kids come and go a lot in college so you shouldn't have too much trouble blending into the new dorm environment.</p>
