[quote=Anonymous]I think this has been expressed earlier in the thread (I just can't read back through every post) but this to me is clearly an issue caused by Covid.  In the past, if someone had a roommate who moved out at the end of a semester or if they never got one first semester then their stuff would all be there - bed made, desk full, pictures up etc.  Because of this unique situation, this girl was forced to take everything down and pack it up which is really annoying!  I'm not sure if OP mentioned why her daughter is new in the room this spring semester - maybe she stayed home out of concern, maybe she had another roommate situation that didn't work etc. but the reality is that this other girl is living in the same room and should have a chance to keep the bed she had.  It's not a big deal.

My daughter is at Oberlin and living in an on campus house with three other girls.  She got the least appealing room because she arrived last but there is no way she would arrive and take someone else's space even though they all had to pack up completely before break.  I just think it causes more issues than it solves for OP's child so hopefully she will act rationally.

Btw, OP it looks like the girl shared her move in date/time with your daughter.  Is it later than the one your child was given?  if not, seems like a moot point.[/quote]
