<p>I’m not exactly sure what to think if you thought that post was offensive in any way.</p>
<p>You need to take a step back and try to look at this from someone else’s perspective. You are completely negative, you don’t take any constructive criticism, you term yourself a loser, and you say everyone hates you. How can you expect anyone else to like you when you dislike yourself so much? I don’t know how you came to the conclusion that only “crazy” people see psychologists/psychiatrists- that is just ignorant. You are 30 and are still crying about dorm life? It’s time to grow up. Go talk to someone if for no other reason than to get an outside opinion. At this point you are definitely sounding trollish. If not, then you really need to find out why you are acting like this.</p>
<p>■■■■■ alert.</p>
<p>As I was reading this thread I found nobody1000 very hard to believe, so I did a little research. It seems as though the OP fabricated this whole story based on a thread he/she commented on previously with a story very similar to this one. The OP even started this thread the same day he/she commented on the original. See for yourself:</p>

<p>I doubt that this is just mere coincidence.OP is definitely a ■■■■■.</p>
<p>Hold on, you’re 30 and complaining about dorm life? I’m surprised your college even ALLOWS people over 24 to live in the dorms–most colleges restrict dorming to people under 23, and some colleges restrict dorming to only freshmen and incoming transfer students (who are under age 23)!</p>
<p>rmelzer1986 - You don’t find “Your 30 years old and still crying over this?? For some reason I though you were at least in your early 20s” and " I would suspect a teenager to say something not that. Not a grown adult. "</p>
<p>Did you even read my original post? The school threw me in a mental hospital based on lies and has done everything in their power to kept me out of school. If not for that I’d of graduated 8 years ago. I can’t get into grad school with the crackerjack degree they sent me.</p>
<p>takeitallin - Did YOU read my original post? I’m not crying over "dorm life. </p>
<p>crc016 - I’m not that poster.</p>
<p>sopranokitty - Did you read my original post? It doesn’t. As I said IN MY ORIGNAL post, I asked the school to make an exception, they said no 3 times. My friend, WHO WAS NEVER AN SXU STUDENT requested an exception and they made one for her.</p>
<p>I’ve never seen any school (in my experience) that allows students over 23/24 no matter what to live in dorms. There were students in my transfer class that were 24, and not offered housing.</p>
<p>Also, it seems the only way to get a degree ‘revoked’ is if they found something wrong during your academic career (ie falsification, plagiarism, bleh)</p>
<p>Also, your comments about “only crazy people see shrinks” is so off base and rude. I’m very much sane, have never been diagnosed with anything and I still see one once a month to talk to. It’s nice to have someone who isn’t personally involved/conflicted by relationship to bounce things off of. You should really try it. Stereotyping of any type is never good :)</p>
<p>Amandarin - The point is that they were willing to give housing to other people who were the same age, but NOT me.</p>
<p>Well that’s strange too, that they would offer housing but eh.</p>
<p>Universities tend to cover their ass in terms of liabilities and it seems that’s what they believe they are doing.</p>
<p>Amandarin - They have no legit reason to though. The only reason they think I’m “crazy” is due to the false accusations of my roommate.</p>
<p>I see lots of good options to go about this, but every one is somehow impossible because of an excuse.</p>
<p>To be frank, a degree in philosophy doesn’t have any better job prospects than a degree in liberal studies.</p>
<p>Posted before I finished… It’s understandable why the school bent their rules to issue you a degree- they want you out of there to minimize their liability. Also, I have a sister with severe mental issues so am familiar with mental facilities-I know there is no way the school could have you admitted to one without some very serious symptoms. You need way more help than anyone here can give you. For your own good you need to talk to someone about moving on with your life and setting some goals for supporting yourself.</p>
<p>Also from the email excerpts you posted , it appears the school does have the power to make exceptions to the dorm age rule but has chosen not to do so for you. Based on your posts here, it seems that you would be a very difficult tenant and they don’t want to deal with you. I suspect they feel other tenants would have problems rooming with you and it would put them in a difficult position. You need to move on and go find someplace else to live. Also you say your family hates you but how are you managing to pay for all of this as you have been going to school now off and on for 12 or so years? You need to stop making excuses for your life. You can’t control the behavior of others, but can take control of your own life.</p>
<p>@ nobody: Yes I read your original post, and then I read every single reply on this thread since. Why would you want an exception anyway? I don’t know how your friend got an exception unless she lied about her age, but the school shouldn’t have made an exception for ANYONE to live in the dorms if they’re over 23/24. It doesn’t matter if you were unfairly placed in a mental hospital against your will several years ago, you’re still well past the typical age for dorm living.</p>
<p>And btw, you can get into grad school with a liberal arts degree. It IS possible. Grad schools DO NOT CARE about what degree you get in undergrad (and don’t deny this, it’s true. There are people who come to grad school and study something completely different from what they studied during their undergrad years). They only care about the GPA and the GRE/LSAT/MCAT (whichever one is appropriate) scores. I knew a 2nd year vet student who got into vet school with not a science degree, but an English degree.</p>
<p>I would not be a difficult tenant at all and they know it. All I did in my old dorm was sit there quietly. It’s one of the reasons they thought I was “crazy.” I “had no friends and never spoke to anyone.”</p>
<p>They have single rooms.</p>
<p>I wanted an exception because, as I said in MY ORIGINAL POST, I got ripped off trying to rent an apartment online.</p>
<p>I don’t have the requirements for grad school. I need a class in Modern Philosophy to apply to University of Western Michigan for example. I don’t have that. If I had finished my Philosophy degree, I would have taken it.</p>
<p>Regardless of you being ripped off the school isn’t required to then give you housing. More people than you think are probably ripped off and that’s not the schools fault… The school didn’t find this person on Craigslist and sick them to you.</p>
<p>Many schools are already very tight on housing.</p>
<p>You are 30 years old. Why would you want to live in a dorm? Yes, there are rip-offs on Craigslist so you need to be more careful. If my D was able to successfully rent a room on CL, cross country, sight unseen, at age 20, surely you can. The school is not responsible to find housing for you. Quit complaining. Oh, and once again you have chosen to ignore the responses you don’t like.</p>
<p>You are purposely makinga large issue about something trivial. I don’t know if you are doing this for entertainment, or because you truly don’t understand. Yes, they treated you like crap, so what? I feel for you, it must suck to be institutionalized, but complaining about it on an anonymous forum won’t solve anything. You asked for advice, all advice that could of been given has been provided. Instead of arguing if you are right, or trying to get everyone to advocate you get off of this forum. Either try some of the solutions offered, or leave the forum. All this has become is a back-and-forth antagonism between you and those on this thread. Instead of putting so much store in other’s opinions if you truly believe you were wronged go do something about it. Your self-pity is clouding your judgement. You have a degree, go use it to get a job. It will be a clean slate for you, so you can make new friends and your past won’t matter.</p>
<p>Basically get over it and move on, or go do something about it. Complaining to a bunch of people online won’t solve anything, ever.</p>
<p>takeitallin - Gee, why would I ignore you posts? You called me cruel names AND accused me of suffering from a mental illness.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m a real “whiner.” How dare I not be all smiles when my ex-roommate threatened to slit my throat. Or when I was put in a mental hospital because she said I was crazy. How dare I?</p>
<p>I like how you people accuse me of having “low self-esteem” AND insult me. If I really am the horrible person you say, shouldn’t I hate myself?</p>
<p>I posted on here because I was hoping that maybe someone here might have some advice. I did not expect to be repeatedly accused of lying, insulted, and have my mental state question.</p>
<p>You say you don’t have a mental illness but were diagnosed with depression by a mental hospital.</p>
