Hello,
I am going to try and keep the story short as much as possible, I moved 6 hours away to attend city college and had never once been into smoking, drinking, or partying whatsoever. My roommates on the other hand lied and said they weren’t into the same things but were the complete opposite. They would have parties (at our house), do drugs, and drank constantly not just on weekends but school nights as well. It would turn into situations where I couldn’t even study without having my roommate have a guy with her in our bedroom or loud music was being played. I was miserable but I didn’t want to disappoint my parents so I tried to suck it up until the semester was over. My parents surprised me this weekend by coming to visit and were appalled by the mess they saw in the morning from the aftermath of their partying (bongs, beer on the floor, food everywhere, belongings thrown everywhere) and moved me out that same day.
There is no way I can find another place to stay especially since I live 6 hours away and the semester is almost over (December 9th), I am completely helpless at this point because if I dropout this semester this could hurt my chances of getting into a great university, my scholarships I worked so hard to obtain will be taken away, same with my financial aid, and all my hard work and effort put into school this semester will be gone to waste. I do not know what to do, is there any possible way of finishing the semester? PLEASE HELP.
Well, why did they move you out immediately? I can understand your parents being upset, but besides a mess, was your safety in jeopardy? I mean, why not just go back and finish out the semester? Did you tell the school you were moving out? something’s just not making sense here.
yes my safety was in jeopardy, they were drama starting girls that had been acting crazy being drunk, yell at me. Even sober they had been doing things like blocking my parking spot to “teach me a lesson” for not leaving my spare car key on the counter. I would have to do all the cleaning around the house, they had random people coming into our house and the environment was definitely not safe for me, I would be locked out of my own room even while my roommate did stuff with her boyfriend. This would not happen if I lived in a normal household. I just came to a breaking point. I couldn’t stay there any longer.
Odd story. Moved out all your things and they expect you to withdraw from college with only a few weeks to go?
Is this U housing? What’s the rest of the picture? And why were you moving home next semester? If you were planning to, how would you attend classes and keep the scholarships, etc?
Living with drunk people is incredibly annoying but your situation doesn’t sound dangerous at all. Move back in and suck it up for the last three weeks, and then find a solution for next semester.
Are you in on-campus housing? If so go to ResLife and ask to be moved immediately. Let them come check out your room if they want. Certainly finish out the semester (even if you have to crash with a friend etc.) and find different arrangements for the spring.
You need to go through the school…you need to either talk to people in housing about the issue or you need to withdraw. Leaving without talkign to anyone will make you fail and will follow you for ever. Talk to your dean of students about what to do.
If your parents force you to move then they need to finance other housing. It has nothing to do with what they can afford. They made the choice and now must pay for it.
You should have tried to get help as soon as you found out what the living situation with these roommates was like. You could have asked the school if they had openings in housing after a few weeks, when other people dropped out.
Your parents have to have a plan, they can’t just take you out of the situation, with no place to live there until the semester is done.
How are you planning on continuing at this school next semester, from 6 hours away from home?
And the $2000 for the hotel, must be cheaper than losing your scholarship.
Your should go and talk to the Dean of students, see if you can get temporary housing, ask in the neighborhood of the school if anyone might rent out a room.
I am moving back home next semester anyways.
