<p>I can't believe orientation starts in about three weeks. I have been assigned to a quad in Mary Donlon Hall and because of the first letter in my last name I am scheduled to move in at 8:00 a.m. Does this mean I am allowed to select my room and bed when I arrive (before at least some of my roommates) or is it customary to wait for all to arrive and then choose. Also, I do not know how we choose our actual roommate as four of us are assigned to share the space provided.</p>
<p>why don't you join the classof2011 hallmates group and chat with your roommates about this...</p>
<p>if youre there first pick the room you want. no one would expect you to wait 5 hours for all your roommates so you can choose straws, and if they did its only because theyre selfish and want the best room. take advantage of your situation.</p>
<p>i was just going to say that. but just remember that there are 4 of you, so try to keep your stuff on your quarter of the room</p>
<p>thank you for the responses. I do not want to get off to a bad start with my roommates but am happy to hear that i get to select my living space without waiting hours for them to arrive.</p>
<p>just don't choose the best bed, best drawer, best closet all for yourself. Leave some for your roommate so you can get off to a good start.</p>
<p>definitely get the best bed though..lol..they would too</p>
