My university doesn't allow subletting... but how would it know?

<p>I'm planning to live at a friend's residence since he's going to live somewhere else due to unforseen events. Our student keys doesn't have any unique pictures or ID which would tell us apart. Do universities hold regular checks to see if the person living in there is the real person? </p>

<p>Would there also be any complications regarding other things such as customer service? Like if I have a problem in my residence do they need to see his student ID to fix it?</p>

<p>Absolutely ridiculous! You can’t sublet dorm rooms. If you go through with this, I hope you and the person you sublet to get caught and kicked out of the school.</p>

<p>^</p>

<p>I don’t understand your rage. Sure, the school doesn’t allow it, but I’m doing nothing unethical or fundamentally wrong. It’s not even against the law.</p>

<p>It’s his space. If he wants to give you some of the space, I don’t see the problem.</p>

<p>The title of this thread is priceless haha.</p>

<p>When an ethical dilemma like this arises, I just ask myself: “what would Obama do?” Works every time.</p>

<p>^^ he’d probably make a speech</p>

<p>Fraud. Housing contract is a legal document. Your RA will know. Expulsion.</p>

<p>

That’s what I was about to say. Unless you are best friends with the RA or you are sure that you can hide it from the RA, I wouldn’t risk it.</p>

<p>If you are going to be living in a dorm, I wouldn’t do it. The RA’s will catch you eventually. If your friend lives off campus, the university would never know.</p>

<p>dorm or on-campus apts? i know Rutgers allows us to sublet…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Not under our system. We file work orders online. Sometimes they fix it while I’m out.</p>

<p>Its also a safety and security problem.</p>
