<p>How easy is it to get a roommate change? My roommate and I just don't seem very compatible in terms of sleep schedules, how loud we like our room, and most importantly maturity level. She seems a bit emotionally unstable. Nothing serious yet, but I would just like to know that a change is possible if anything gets worse. I'm easy going, not picky, and I know I can make this work if a change isn't possible. Thanks for any answers in advance!</p>
<p>Sorry for the spelling error</p>
<p>Is this a roommate from just moving in the last few days? Give it a try getting along with your roommate for a bit longer…you could end up with a worse roommate if you make a change. Remember, if you are reassigned to a new roommate, it will probably be with someone else who couldn’t get along with a roommate.</p>
<p>Plus, your college life schedule might get busy. If you are extremely active, and depending on your friends, you may be in your room far less to have any decent contact with your roommate. Vice versa.</p>
<p>Yes, it is possible to get moved to a different roommate. Keep in mind that that will likely mean moving buildings, though. And who knows, you’ve lived here for less than a week and don’t really know your roommate. Maybe you’ll end up getting along with them, or not really spending too much time with them. </p>
<p>The biggest thing is that you need to TALK with your roommate. If something they do irks you, just BE POLITE and mention it to them. DO NOT be accusatory like it has to be your way only; you will need to make some concessions if you’re expecting the other person to do the same.</p>
<p>if I’m not mistaken, I think my son’s RA met with him and his roommate and discussed things with them, like what of each other’s property is off bounds, last year they even asked which way they like the toilet paper hung. so that might be an opportunity to establish some boundaries. My son was pretty miserable with his roommate but the fear of someone worse kept him with him all freshman year. Luckily, last year he was in Ragans and had one roommate that became a close friend.</p>
<p>I just filed for a housing reassignment this morning. Are those likely to happen during the first semester? I listed my preference as Reynolds since I really like the hall, the supposed ideals of the hall, and I also noticed some doubles only had one student.</p>
<p>I really hope this works out. I’ve been seriously considering just dropping out and commuting to UNF because I don’t know how much longer I can stand to be in this dorm.</p>
<p>Please forgive my last post. I was being unreasonable when I posted that. I still do want a room change, but I would never withdraw from the school. >_<</p>
<p>^I totally know how you feel. It’s difficult to fully focus and enjoy your college experience when you aren’t happy with where you are living.
I’m struggling with that as well and I’m also curious how long it takes to hear back after submitting a Reassignment Request. I think they do it it order of when recieved if I’m not mistaken and you have to hope there is space in requested hall and if not just hope that someone else moves out of the hall you requested.</p>
<p>Quite right. I received an email stating that.</p>
<p>Good luck! & hope you get into Hall of choice :)</p>

<p>The hall I’m in (Salley) isn’t as much of an issue as my roommates are. Not that I would be opposed to moving into a nicer one! Thanks, though.</p>
<p>Robbeh, how long after you applied for a reassignment did you get an email from housing confirming that they got your request?
I applied for a reassignment last night, but I haven’t gotten any email from them.</p>
<p>I’d say about a week. However, this was only because Housing wouldn’t look at reassignment requests until two weeks after halls opened. </p>
<p>You’ll probably receive an email on Monday or a few days after. It is the weekend after all. Best of luck, though.</p>
<p>Can anyone ballpark how long it usually takes to get reassigned after putting in your request after the school year has started? Can it take over a month?</p>
<p>Sent from my iPhone using CC</p>
<p>It can take any amount of time. You’re more likely to get reassigned somewhere within the first couple weeks of the semester I believe, but you can be reassigned at any time.</p>
<p>It’s also possible for you to not be able to be reassigned for whatever reason- whether where you want to be reassigned to is full, or whatever. </p>
<p>A month would be considered quick, in my opinion. Heck, Housing even has a note that your request will be kept on file for the entire term, which makes me think that reassignments are often very slow to happen- if they happen at all.</p>
<p>omg for real? Then again I’m not surprised. So let’s say someone doesn’t get reassigned in the Fall they’d have to request again in the Spring?</p>

<p>I don’t know if you would have to reapply for a reassignment in the spring, as I’m not sure how housing defines “term” (since technically, for almost all buildings, the “term” you would live there is the whole year). </p>
<p>But yeah, pretty much you may not ever be reassigned. It all depends on whether a spot in a building that fits your preference opens up, and whether you’re the first on the list for that spot or not.</p>
<p>I would think though that if you were going to be reassigned, it would either happen early in the semester (within the first week or two after reassignments are accepted), or at the end of the semester as people notify housing that they are going to be moving out after Fall.</p>
<p>Yeah that makes sense. Thanks for the information :)</p>

<p>Yeah, the end of the semester seems more likely. I guess I can tolerate my living arrangements for the remainder of the semester. Anything more … eh …</p>
