My girlfriend is coming over for 3 nights and I was wondering if there was any policy against this? (her staying in my dorm) I was also wondering if there was a way to add more guest swipes (for meals) to my M-Card? And also how I could get her into the women’s restroom facilities? (bathroom and showers) Thanks! Also anyone else who has had a SO visit, are there any other logistics I should get sorted out?
- no policy against that
- you have some guest swipes already--they might also let two in with two regular swipes
- your card should also work with female restrooms--just try
- no logistics as far as I remember
Just talk it through with your roommate (if you have one) and be sure he’s cool with it, and that both you and he are clear on expectations. Most roommates will try to be accommodating, but these sorts of visits can also be disruptive for the roommate who isn’t hosting the visitor. You need to recognize that and not place unreasonable demands and expectations on said roommate (e.g., you and your guest can’t expect to have exclusive use of the room 24 hours a day for 3 days straight). Otherwise resentments can build up and spill over into conflict, and that’s not good for you or for your roommate, and certainly not good for your relationship with your roommate going forward.
I agree that you have to be considerate of your roommate. I did want to mention that many dorms supply guest cots. I am not suggesting you want one for your girlfriend, but if your roommate is willing he could get a cot to put in a guest room rather than sleep on the floor. But again only if he is willing and you should not totally monopolize the room.

Your community center may have irons, vacuums and guest cots available for your use. Please check with the Community Center staff if you are in need of any of these items.
I think 3 days is too much of an imposition on a roommate. One night is okay. Three days is too much.
And, you want her to get free showers and free use of the facilities?
Have her book a room. She’ll feel much more at ease and you won’t be stepping in people’s way.
Agree-I think overnights with a girlfriend in the room with the roommate is not cool. Your roommate shouldn’t have to put up with this so find her somewhere else to stay.
