Room Swap A room swap involves changing rooms with a specific person on your floor or in your hall. Here are the easy steps to follow if you are interested in a room swap: Contact your House Fellow.
The House Fellow will ensure that all four persons involved in the room swap you, the person you are swapping with, and both roommates are all in agreement. Wait for an email from the Assignment Office. Once everything is set, you will receive an email to let you know that the room swap is okay to happen. Both you and the person you are swapping with will need to go to the hall desk to sign a form and exchange keys. Your room swap must be completed by the effective date included in the email.

There was the small issue of the knife, too. She came from a rural community and she kept a knife that her boyfriend had given her in case of an attack.
While it made her feel safe, it made me feel unsafe. What I wanted was simple. I wanted to feel comfortable. I only knew of two people who had switched roommates earlier in the year.
During orientation week, one of the guys across the hall woke up to find his drunk roommate urinating on him. He was gone the next day. At a different school, a friend of mine from high school was matched with a sorority girl. When I brought it up with my family, they were surprised that I was considering a room transfer.

Although all roommates will need to communicate about sharing food, game systems, and other personal items, this is especially important in Bryant Place and University Terrace. In suite-style housing, residents will need to supply bathroom and cleaning supplies themselves. Communicating purchasing expectations and indicating "personal" and "communal" items is a must.
While we do have certain minimum standards of cleanliness as part of our safety and security inspections, it is still important to speak to roommates ahead of time to understand cleaning schedules and responsibilities. In buildings with common areas, this can be especially important to avoid conflict. Communicating whether you are a heavy sleeper, someone who needs silence to study, or someone who has a noisy morning routine can help avoid problems.
Many study rooms and social areas exist on campus so that roommates can respect one another's needs for silence, and can share use of the room equally. Remember that communication requires listening, and make sure to respect any differing opinions your roommate may have! If a conflict does occur, we have many resources available to our residents to resolve issues before they grow.
