Living with a new roommate is an exciting part of the college experience and one of the best ways to learn, grow, and build lasting connections.
Living with someone new can be one of the most rewarding and memorable parts of college. The person you share your space with may become a close friend—or simply someone with whom you learn and grow. Living in close quarters can also be both challenging and eye-opening, as you encounter new personalities, attitudes, and lifestyles.Room Changes
Because room occupancy is verified at the beginning and end of each semester, room change requests are generally not approved during the first week of the term or in November and December, when new spring assignments are being processed.
If you’d like to request a room change, contact your Residence Life Specialist (RLS), who can guide you through the proper process. Please note that room changes are not approved based on race, age, disability, veteran status, religion, sexual orientation, color, or national origin.
If you’re experiencing difficulties with your roommate that you can’t resolve, it’s important to talk with a Residence Life staff member for support. All room changes must be approved by your RLS, and switching rooms without approval is not permitted.
Residence Life reserves the right to make administrative room changes when necessary for the well-being of students or building operations. In some cases, roommates who are unable to resolve conflicts may be moved to different rooms, floors, or residence halls.
