Hey,
So I’m a Vic student who put Marg Ad as their top choice for residence. For whatever reason, I ended up in Rowell Jackman Hall, which I hear is the quietest of all residences at Vic. I’m panicking, because I contacted my roommate after getting my room assignment, and realized that the rowdy city rat I am, is about to be paired with a treehugging country girl who sleeps at 10 PM and wakes at 8 AM everyday. Help.
Is it possible to switch residences? It’s about two weeks before move-in day, and I’ve already paid all my fees, but couldn’t they switch me around? I’m seriously worrying about this, because I filled out my application for residence honestly, and got paired with my complete opposite. I want to have a good first year experience, and quite frankly, all work and no play isn’t what I paid for.
?????????????????????
Partaaay people,
I would contact the residence folks (at?416-585-4521) and explain your situation. The odds are there is another mis-matched pair that might be able to switch up with you.
Unfortunately they might make you try it out for awhile and then you might be able to get switched around if the two of you aren’t getting along. Although it seems like you two couldn’t be more polar opposites, you might turn out getting along. My roommate from first year and I have joked about how we assumed we weren’t going to get along based off of our names and they turned out to be my partner in crime for the next 3 years.
Good luck and happy first-year-ing.
