Switching Dorms?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Stony Brook University - SUNY

<p>Hey everyone. I am a high school student who will attend SBU next year. </p>

<p>Everything is going great. I love the campus and have made a great deal of friends already. Now the problem is, is that I have been placed in Tabler for rooming. My parents really want me to dorm with any of my friends who are attending sbu and a lot of them have been put into Roth. I need to somehow get into Roth. How can this be done? </p>

<p>Also, i received a lot of scholarship money from a lot of schools (hofstra, st. john's, nyu-poly). A friend of mine received scholarship money to hofstra and decided to email U Delaware about this, saying that she won't be able to attend because her parents are not giving her full financial support and would love to attend UD but only way is if they can match the certain scholarship. It worked for her.</p>

<p>I am in kinda the same situation. I sent in my deposit for NYU-poly and SBU, and although i would rather attend SBU over everything, I have received pretty much a full-ride to nyu-poly. I was wondering if it were somehow possibly for SBU to match the money. I really want to attend SBU but my parents don't want to give me to spend to much money on college as I plan on doing med school.</p>

<p>What are the proper steps to go about doing this? email? go directly to them? what?</p>

<p>You should have requested to room with them when submitting your orientation details which usually asks(or it did in previous years) for your preferred roommates. Other than that you probably won’t manage to get it because housing for freshmen is extremely tight and overbooked. You could try contacting Campus Res <a href=“Campus Residences | Stony Brook University”>Campus Residences | Stony Brook University;
But unless you have some sort of medical or extremely special reason they will most likely say no.
You can however in the next year(s) choose where you live with whoever.</p>

<p>On the matter with Financial Aid, you can try contacting the Fin Aid office <a href=“http://www.stonybrook.edu/finaid/contact.shtml[/url]”>http://www.stonybrook.edu/finaid/contact.shtml&lt;/a&gt;. I have never heard of Stony matching offers however. It never hurts to call to ask, that’s why those phone numbers exist.</p>
