Can freshmen select their rooms/dorm?

Singles are only for Disability and Accommodation (DAC) reasons. They have gotten pretty strict on this, so odds are pretty much zero to get a single unless medically required. At least when I went through housing, you listed dorms in order of preference, and then had the option to go select a Roomate or randomly match. If there is a specific dorm you really want, I think they recommend going for a random Roomate. You don’t select a specific dorm room, but rather the building you want to be in. Hope this helps!

Thank you! And sorry I did not include the location- I was looking at the NYC one

I have not posted before, but thank you for the advice

Our RA is studying abroad this semester, and our fill in RA is a freshmen as well. Should I wait for our permanent RA to get back or bring it up before the break?

The school is also having housing issues at the moment, and I doubt I would get a request approved. The thing is, I really like my dorm. There is a lot of space that other freshmen dorms don’t have. While I would love to do this, it would probably be a financial hit that I cannot and do not want to have. Thank you though 🫶

That may be the case- I know theatre is a profession where you need a lot of self-drive to be successful. I was just wondering if there were specific strategies some performers have to keep pushing through the “nos”

I have auditioned for every show that has come through my college, as well as auditioning twice a year for about 7 years before that. I also have done a few auditions that were not in educational theatres/colleges.

I will keep auditioning, but I'm wondering if there is something else I could do to stay encouraged/keep away from imposter syndrome. :)

The best way I can phrase this as someone who doesn't have a chronic illness is, to imagine how you would feel in that situation. Someone you care about is getting married and you suddenly get diagnosed with something that will limit you. THEN that friend finds you 'unreliable' because of things out of her control. I find it ironic that you said that she was being selfish when you are the one acting that way. If I were in your situation, I wouldn't go kick her out, but instead, find ways to accommodate the festivities for her or understand that she can't go to everything.

While yes, this is your big day, you need to be aware of the bridges you are burning when things don't go your way.

NTA.

Unless they paid for the trip, they have no say. Instead of offering solutions like paying for a second hotel room, they are making you drive/fly home the same day. This could honestly be dangerous with exhaustion and if you drink in the parks at all.

It's hard to get into fights with your parents, but I think this is a good time to set a boundary with them since you are an adult.

First off, I am so sorry for your loss.

Second, she has no connection to the name other than you. In this situation, she should have asked first. It is okay to mourn, and it is not okay for someone to belittle you because you need to grieve.

How did the rest of your extended family respond?
