0822 Posted December 28, 2017 at 02:43 PM Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 at 02:43 PM Hi, i'm a scholarship student living in dorm 17, i don't like my actual roomate (long story) and i have a friend whose roomate is going to leave after the end of this semester so i'm planning to move with my friend, i talked to the receptionist about this and she said that only by the start of the new semester we can go there and ask to change room. Me and her are not going to be here during the winter break. She is going to return her room, and when she comes back she will check in again. I want to know if i should also return my room and then check in together with her, the problem is we might not arrive at the same time. What do you guys think?

ChTTay Posted December 28, 2017 at 06:09 PM Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 at 06:09 PM Try sort it out before you both leave. Is there an office you can go to rather than talk to the receptionist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
陳德聰 Posted December 29, 2017 at 05:45 PM Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 at 05:45 PM My suggestion is to offer to pay upfront for booking the room that you and your friend want to share. If they try to tell you you can’t make arrangements before that time and you can afford to, you may consider renting the room through the break.

edelweis Posted December 29, 2017 at 06:49 PM Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 at 06:49 PM but the OP is a scholarship student, so the dorm is paid by the scholarship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edelweis Posted December 30, 2017 at 11:10 AM Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 at 11:10 AM Maybe approach the leaving roommate so that when she checks out (and gives her key back?) you accompany her and ask the clerk to assign you immediately to that room. And/or move your things to your friend's room as soon as the roommate is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
