<p>So, how likely would it be that I could get my dorm switched? I'm in Jester right now, and would like to be in either Kinsolving, Duren, or San Jac. I know the latter two would be pretty much impossible, but how much luck do you think I'd have with Kinsolving?</p>
<p>Pretty much impossible unless you can find someone who’s willing to switch.</p>
<p>I guess I was expecting as much… oh well.</p>
<p>This is a total shot in the dark, but if there’s anyone out there willing to switch dorms, let me know. =/</p>
<p>Just out of curiosity, what’s making you want to switch? I don’t think Kinsolving is exactly the Ritz…</p>
<p>Jester just seems too… high-energy, I guess? I like the location, but my floor is really loud, and I just wish I were somewhere a little more low-key.</p>
<p>(Also, Jester has the tendency to smell a bit funky.)</p>
<p>If you want quiet, try for Littlefield. Some of the rooms in there are so tiny you might find someone who wants more room, and that dorm is Q U I E T, especially on weekends. You might find someone in Littlefield who thinks the liveliness of Jester sounds great.</p>
<p>@classywire- I know what you mean and thats a reason why I didn’t stay at Jester. Try Brackenride, Roberts, or Prather. Maybe even Moore-Hill if your lucky. But you might have a chance to get into Kinsolving.</p>
<p>Hmm… Littlefield doesn’t sound too bad, but I would definitely miss having a connecting bathroom.</p>
<p>Someone told me that it’s easier to get a dorm reassignment at the end of the semester, since that’s when the most people leave. I might wait until then to send a request.</p>
<p>Sorry for the double post, but I have a quick question: are Kinsolving and Jester the only dorms with connecting bathrooms?</p>
<p>I guess your on a renovated floor at Jester? When I stayed at JEast during orientation, it didn’t have a connecting bath only a community bathroom. Kinsolving has private bathrooms on one wing the other is all community</p>
<p>I’m not, actually. I think it differs depending on the wing… it seems like it’s 60% connecting and 40% community on my floor.</p>
<p>Why wait? Send in the request now and if there are no rooms ask to be put first on a waitlist.</p>
<p>Because if other people think that’s the best time to request it then there might end up being rooms but you miss out because other people asked before you did. I can only think of a few reasons why someone would leave the dorms in December since the contract is for a year so I don’t think there will be a ton of rooms open, especially since you want a connecting bathroom and specific dorms.</p>
<p>I’m in Littlefield right now and it is NOT always quiet. lol I guess not this year. But it is clean and smells fine though. I’m not sure if there are any vacant rooms left but you could try.</p>
<p>There is some turnover but the most efficient way to switch dorms is to trade places with someone.</p>
