On-campus residents may find a new home away from home by coordinating with Residential Life this week to change dorm rooms.
Students will have a 24-hour period today to make a move to a different room in the same building with no questions asked, based on availability.
Students should visit the front desk of their residence halls between 5 and 7 p.m. to inquire about availability, said Benjamin Dewberry, residence life coordinator of Broussard and Pentagon halls.
To change buildings, students can visit Grace King Hall on Jan. 26 or 27 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to discuss a new dorm assignment.
If a resident changes rooms within his or her dorm, there are no fees involved, Dewberry said. If a student moves to a different building, fees depend on the price difference between the current and future residence hall.
If a student wishes to change rooms on a different date, the student contact a resident assistant or a ResLife coordinator, Dewberry said.
Geography junior Mallory Thomas is beginning her fourth semester as a resident assistant and has moderated multiple disputes.
“Conflicts can range from small disputes to massive blow outs,” Thomas said.
She advises residents to use the “golden rule” and common sense when dealing with roommates.
