<p>Finishing up with high school activities, but looking forward to my son taking the lead with his college responsibilities like finding roommates and signing up for housing. He did find 3 guys through the school's Facebook group and so it looks like he's going for a quad 1st year despite wifey advising against it. 4 girls maybe but 4 freshman dudes ... ill-advised ... according to her. Anyway how are your kids dealing with one foot in each school? This lull in between is a little nerve racking to me. </p>
<p>I’m leaving it up to them (I have two heading to freshman year, different schools). One is on a team and ‘sort of’ has an agreement to room with 2 others in a quad suite. I’d rather her live in a traditional dorm ($2000 cheaper for the year) but she wants to be with the team. The other has only put in a request for a dorm, but has done nothing about finding a roommate. They have interest groups for freshmen, and you can be grouped with others in your interest group (usually a major) but she has no interest in that either. She’s afraid that if she has a roommate in her major, and then has classes with this same person, and doesn’t LIKE this person, she’d be stuck. If she just gets a roommate and doesn’t like her, she could request a change, but she can’t request a change of major or to avoid this other person. Makes sense to me.</p>
<p>I think the one on the team is going to be sick sick sick of her roommate/teammate/friends very quickly, especially over whose turn it is to clean the bathroom! She’ll have to live, workout, eat and study with the same kids every single day.</p>
<p>But this is one things that ISN’T my responsibility! I paid the housing deposits, rest is up to them.</p>
