Room selection for next year is underway. My roommate has a group to be with, and I have no real friends (though I do have some, but they either have a group or are commuters). This is a smaller campus and I know many people, and I know there will only be a few “unlucky” people with no friends who will be stuck without a group. What do I do now?
Can you get a single? Ask other people you know if they have figured out their room situations yet?
There are singles yes. They made a FB group for people like me which I will look into.
I didn’t mean are there singles. I meant can you get one. As in, is it financially feasible, would you be happy living in a single, and would you be able to obtain one? The seems like a good option if all of your friends have come up with other living arrangements, and you get the benefit of having your own space when you want it without having to worry about a roommate.
If you do want a roommate or don’t want to pay more for a single room, then the facebook group sounds like a good place to start.
yes me and my parents believe a single is in reach. Not the best option financially, but it could have its benefits.
Deadline day is fast approaching. I will need to make a decision soon because if I don’t I’ll be in a pretty bad position. Most people I know who don’t have a group have issues that I don’t want to deal with
I’m not sure what you’re looking for. From my point of view, it seems like you have three options:
- Find someone else to room with.
- Be assigned a random roommate (assuming this is an option).
- Get a single.
You already tried finding someone else to room with (through social media, through your friends at school, etc) and were unsuccessful (I’m assuming, since you’re still asking the question). So that option is out, assuming you’ve exhausted your options.
So your only options are to get a random roommate or get a single. If getting a single would be a financial strain (or if you just really want a roommate), then I would recommend risking it and letting the school assign you a random roommate. If you don’t want to go through that though and can afford a single room, then get a single. No one can make that decision for you. It really depends on what you want and what you can afford.
