<p>I just posted this on the 2014 board, but thought I would throw this out to you all here, as well. </p>
<p>My daughter just applied for housing this evening. Paid the $45 and proceeded to look at the Roommate Search. Hmmmm....all GUYS' names came up. Uh-oh. Sure enough, she went back and she apparently had clicked on MALE or accidently scrolled up or down after putting in female. Either way, they won't let her edit it. She tried everything within her Profile, but to no avail. So, if one of us just called USC Housing tomorrow, they should be able to fix it for her, right? Either that, or she's going to be rooming with a guy for the year! :) :)</p>
<p>Just curious if there is absolutely *any *way it can be edited online before one of us makes the call to USC. Thanks!</p>
<p>Hahaha! I am NO help here, but I enjoyed the post! I think you will have to make that call.</p>
<p>Hahaha, that will be an interesting call. I imagine the USC representative will do a double take of some sort.</p>
<p>Just have her send an email. The housing office should be able to fix it for her.</p>
<p>Add a photo to the e-mail. I am certain there will be some red faces in the housing office!</p>
<p>2Leashes, she’ll have to call them tomorrow. This is something they can easily fix on their end. </p>
<p>I was in a hurry to sign up my s in 2008 and get him an early date, so I selected some dorky username to hold the place when I paid the housing registration fee. I figured he could go back and change it to something more suitable. Um. No. So he was stuck with that geeky name as he made contact with new roommates. LOL. Oops. I shouldn’t laugh. Bad mom. Baad mom.</p>
<p>madbean…too funny. </p>
<p>2leashes…I’d insist on being able to screen all the possible male roommates so she could pick the cutest one ha ha…just kidding.</p>
<p>Madbean, I had to laugh at this. At least it was my *daughter *who was in a hurry in this case. She can’t blame ***me ***for claiming she’s a male. 
I’ve watched her type and yes, those fingers are flying. I told her a lesson learned in double checking before saving something. Oh, well. Like you said, easily fixed! BTW, they couldn’t change your son’s username over the phone or did he want to make contact with potential roommates right away? A good conversation-starter, if nothing else! :)</p>
<p>Housing does not like to be bothered with issues like this. Ask your daughter if she would consider a sex change. It would show commitment to being a Trojan.</p>
<p>Excellent idea, Tornados! I should tell her to go back and check the guys out, anyway. Could be a great prospect for a future date, if nothing else! LOL</p>

<p>Georgia Girl: Good idea about the photo! :)</p>
<p>@RSBuletz - HAHAHAHAHA</p>
<p>madbean - my kid also has a goofy username, but hers is of her own making. She thought it was ever-so-clever and an inside joke with some of her friends (who don’t go to USC, they were just with her when she made it). Turns out it is her username forever and is the first thing prospective roomates see!</p>

<p>RSBuletz…hahahaha…classic</p>
<p>Give it a few years and USC will jump on the co-ed room bandwagon and begin allowing girls and guys stay in the same room. Stanford and UPenn do it! One chick in Stanford screwed up her housing registration and end up getting a room with 2 other guys. I can only imagine the awkward moments that ensued throughout the year. Rooming with the opposite sex - seems fun on paper, totally uncomfortable and inconvenient in reality, haha.</p>
<p>You’re so right MagicalMalik. I have found rooming with my husband quite inconvenient for the past 30 years. For one thing, he snores.</p>
<p>My D made some kind of mistake on her housing form too - can’t remember now what it was. It was impossible to change online but she did it in a moment on the phone.</p>
<p>Problem solved! I emailed Housing last night hoping they would take care of it. They did. No need for that phone call. My daughter will be pleased she’ll be sharing her space with another female. So will her boyfriend! ;-)</p>
<p>Of course, this ALL depends on the FA package. This housing app. glitch might be the *least *of our worries. Well, she still has Cal Poly and the prospect of rooming with a friend who knows her every little habit and quirk. :)</p>
