<p>i just recieved my roomate assignment and they assigned me with a sophomore. (i'm a freshman). i don't feel really too good about this, even though she seems really nice. it's just that i excepted to be roomed with another freshman so that we could learn new things together. i feel like i'll be a baggage to her. do you think that her being a sophomore will greatly impact my first year experience?</p>
<p>If i were you, i would call and have that changed. Having a roomate who's a freshmen will help you meet more people. Unless you have friends already their on campus. Otherwise get it changed.</p>
<p>i dont see how 2 freshman will equal more friends compared to the current situation</p>
<p>The better question is, why isn't SHE rooming with one of her friends? That seems very weird that any soph wouldn't care about rooming with a freshman!!! Steer clear of that one and call the school...DEMAND A CHANGE!</p>
<p>is she a transfer or a returning sophomore? If she's a transfer, it's really no big deal, she's basically in the same situation you are, if she's not a transfer, then yeah, that's wierd, I would call to request having a freshman roommate.</p>
<p>Im a Junior and well wouldnt want to live with any of my friends.</p>
<p>Is there a chance that you are living at an upperclassmen residential college? They sometimes put freshmen in upperclassmen housing when there is not enough room in the freshmen dorms. It happened to two of my friends and girl I used to like so it is possible. Also, I have a friend who passed up living with me and other group of friends to live somewhere.</p>
<p>no, she is not a transfer. yes, i did sign up for theme housing, but i'm sure other freshman did too.</p>
<p>I'll be a sophomore at Cornell. Where are you living? That's just way the program houses assign roommates... that's why they exist... if you want a traditional dorm experience, switch into a traditional dorm...</p>
<p>um, i'm not going to cornell bcuz they were stingy. lol. but um, i'll feel bad though. although the assignments are final yet, i've already talked to my roomate and everything. she also has a tv, microwave, fan, fridge....which is very helpful. lol.</p>
<p>I don't see why it's a big deal... this will probably help you make friends faster! I know I plan on introducing my freshman suitemates to people I know (I am living in a dorm with my sophomore friend, but the girls we share a bathroom with next door with will most likely (99%) be freshmen). I wish I'd had someone to do that for me last year!</p>
<p>A sophomore roommate can really work to your advantage, as she can share with you the 411 about her own freshman experience. It could just be that there were not any other sophomores available when rooms were assigned.</p>
<p>A roommate with some recent college experience can be a great thing and sophomore's are not the enemy!</p>
<p>weird, but pretty cool</p>
<p>oohhhhhhh, you're in a theme house? I don't think there's anything to complain about then. Maybe they had an odd number of girls, and by luck of the draw you and she are together.</p>
<p>It could be great. If they're the same major, you can buy their old books off of them and get info on the best professors, etc. At the very least they can tell you about the good area eateries. I know freshman who roomed with sophomores last year and are sticking with them next year.</p>
