Roommate Going Abroad for Spring '08

<p>I just found out my roommate is going to be studying abroad for the spring semester. What happens to the room? Do I get stuck with someone I don't know? I certainly hope not.</p>

<p>yea mine too. i might just study abroad as well</p>

<p>You might or might not...people come back from fall study abroad need places to live</p>

<p>Is it too late to get to sign up for study abroad for spring?</p>

<p>you may just end up having the room to yourself next semester. happened to one of my friends.</p>

<p>and studying abroad first year is probably not the best idea. at least wait until sophomore year.</p>

<p>I am a sophomore. A single would be great, but with housing being what it is at NYU, I really don't think that the school would miss a chance to get another 12 grand from someone who wanted/needed housing.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if you can still look to go aboard for the spring?</p>

<p>yaka, unless things have changed recently, the deadline for application to spring study abroad programs is mid-September. Everyone my daughter knew who had a roommate leave for spring, did indeed get a new roommate. I think those who ended up with a room to themselves are definitely the exception, and it shouldn't be expected for that to happen.</p>

<p>Yea, the deadline shouldn't be up yet.</p>

<p>Agree with NYU housing being a nightmare.</p>

<p>the final listed deadline is oct. 15, but you can apply after that accor. to the website.</p>
