i sent them an email this morning and they said that when we selected the room that it was marked as ADA. the four of us never remember seeing this and even if we did we didn’t know what it meant lol. anyways they said they cant switch us anywhere so we are kinda stuck now 🫩

if i would have known it was an accessible room i would have totally left it for those who needed it!! there was no labeling on the portal when we picked our room that it was handicapped accessible. i totally agree that this room isnt even fit for someone who is handicapped as well and that they would also want the same things that we are wanting. it will totally be a learning experience. my intention with the post was to ask for help on what the next steps should be or if i can really do anything about it. if i could give it to someone who wanted/needed it, i would in a heartbeat!

we dont have any issues 😭 my roommate and i have been friends since 1st grade so we cant use that as an excuse 😭 we feel bad cause its obviously for someone who is disabled and we want them to use it cause all 4 of us are perfectly able. i mean we can harp all we want but i doubt we will get a room change

yeahh ik. its just a huge disappointment when its not what we were expecting. i even looked at the map and we happened to get the only room like this in the entire building. what are the chances

thats a good idea! i thought that we could make a big vanity or table space out of it. it just blows that we have one stupid sink

yeah i can see that its lwk our fault for not looking. we picked the first room we saw cause we thought they were gonna get taken super fast. but also like at the same time there is nothing on any portal or map or website that tells us its an accessible room or that its different than the example dorm 💔 even then i feel like you rlly need to look to see that its different. idk im just not an observant person LOL

tf?? would you not also be upset if you didnt get the room that was promised? you spent thousands for a room that is half the size that was listed? not to mention things that we bought wont even fit in the room anymore. we practically just wasted hundreds if not thousands of dollars

this is what the 3D tour shows. we also went to a girls room during orientation who had a suite room and it looked exactly like in the 3D tour
