<p>Are we allowed to switch dorms at semester if we don't like our roommate</p>
<p>This document has a roommate conflict section: <a href=“UHD Homepage | University Housing and Dining”>UHD Homepage | University Housing and Dining; on page 48. </p>
<p>Once you get there, you may find other alternatives.</p>
<p>Well, that was quick</p>
<p>you don’t have to like your roommate. You just have to respect each other. Have you signed a roommate contract yet? What is the most major issue?</p>
<p>It is kind of like siblings - you may not like them much, but you maintain a certain respect out of decency and to get along.</p>
<p>Her snoring is the issue. I purchased some noise canceling headphones. They help cancel the noise of slamming doors but her snoring is louder than that. I have gotten about 4 hours of sleep the last 2 days. I usually get 8 hours each day. Do I just talk to my RA about it or is there anyone else that could help me with this conflict. I have not signed my roommate contract yet. She’s never available it seems.</p>
<p>I understand that my roommate and I have different sleeping schedules. I go to sleep at 10 when she comes back to the room at 2. She doesn’t respect the fact that I am asleep and isn’t careful about waking me up. I am a light sleeper.</p>
<p>It is a part of college life that you meet and/or room with someone who is different from you. If you never share a room before, it may take some time to adjust. Before approaching RA, talk to your roommate about the issue politely and ask if she can come into the room with minimal disturbance as possible while you are asleep. You are not the only one having issues here. I won’t be surprised that your roommate finds herself having to adjust to someone who goes to bed at 10pm. School has not even started yet. Did your roommate come back to the room at 2 during the weekend? </p>
<p>
Leave her a note to set up a time to meet and this provides a good opportunity to talk about the issues you are having. Don’t be hostile from the start.</p>
<p>No amount of “working it out” is going to solve the snoring problem. I speak on behalf of the Wives of Snoring Husbands everywhere.</p>
<p>If she wants to change her roommate, so what? What’s the big deal. Just answer the question.</p>
<p>lilychiang12: I recommend speaking to the RA. They are “paid the big bucks” to deal with things like this.</p>
