When do we find out about roommates?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley
21

<p>I remember it as you had to check the box to release your info.</p>

22

<p>I don’t remember it. Hah I thought us Berkeley students are supposed to have a good memory : ]</p>

23

<p>On the page where you took your roommate survey and they asked you a bunch of questions about your living habits, the last question on there asked if you want to release your info to your future roommates.</p>

24

<p>

Oh nooo I really don’t remember that haha. I’m hoping I did check it then… I need to know who my roommates are so I can call dibs on the bottom bunk!!!</p>

<p>Edit:

Now that you mention it… I may vaguely remember something like that. But still not sure at all haha</p>

25

<p>You may have said yes, but if your roommate said no, there is still no exchange of names and contact information.</p>

<p>Just get there bright and early on move-in day, wait to meet your roommates and work out bunking, etc at that time.</p>

26

<p>i’m in a triple, so i figure one of us will have one person’s name at least…hopefully. i’m pretty sure i released my info, but i’m more interested in knowing what building i’m in.</p>

27

<p>That you will get, even if you don’t get roommate information.</p>

28

<p>

</p>

<p>Nooo what if my two roommates team up and take the bottom bunk and the desk closest to it, and the other person takes the bed with the desk under it, leaving me with the crappiest combination :[
Ahhh now I really hope I released my info</p>

29

<p>Wait, even if the person chose to not release their contact info, you won’t even know their name?</p>

30

<p>Well, the general idea is that anyone who would take a bunk because they ‘got there first’ is kind of a d**k and that doesn’t set up a very good first impression with two other people that they will live with for the next ten months. </p>

<p>The right thing to do is to meet the roommates and work it out like grownups.</p>

31

<p>^I don’t know if the answer has been already given on this thread but what day is the day we can find out who our roommate is?</p>

32

<p>According to what “Res Hall” said on the Berkeley 2014 facebook group: “Within the next week”</p>

33

<p>^thanks! 10char</p>

34

<p>I wonder if you can e-mail ResHall to find out if you released your info or not?</p>

35

<p>Yeah to rider’s statement, last night i was thinking how funny it is how young adults will certainly spend a good 20 minutes of their life stressing about what bunk bed they want; i used to fight with my brother about the same thing when we were 9.</p>

36

<p>Now you can spend 20 minutes stressing about which section of a class you want and whether you can clear the waitlist or have to accept ‘the wrong bunk’ section.</p>

37

<p>^ Haha. Anyway according to another thread (on the same topic, what a surprise) the information comes out August 6th at 5pm or something like that.</p>

<p>I’m not too bothered 'cos I already know my building and my roommates… :P</p>

38

<p>lol it shouldn’t surprise us that even as young adults we fight over trivial things since we grown adults fight over land and space all the time (Israli’s vs. Palisitinians, India vs. Pakistan, etc). Really all our “grown adult” human conflicts are the same conflicts we had as kids, except they are based on race, ethnicity, property, and religion instead of “who get’s the baseball field this recess” lol it’s truly sad and depressing…</p>
