[quote=Anonymous]So I think I am mostly team roommate on the grounds that if it weren't for COVID, she wouldn't have packed up, and OP's daughter would be moving into a partially filled room.  I doubt she would feel it was appropriate to say, can we flip for the bed?

However, I am kind of curious as to how this whole situation developed.  Was this a double and the roommate lucked into not having a roommate in the fall and got the place to herself?  IS OP's daughter is arriving on campus for the first time or is she switching rooms for whatever reasons?

If it is the former situation, maybe the roommate could be a little more flexible since everything is all packed up anyways and they are kind of starting over.

Either way, it isn't that big a deal is it?  Is the window even that desirable?  Maybe it is too noisy or too cold or too light?

If it is a big deal, ignoring and taking what you want is definitely not the way to go.  Just be honest and say, "Could we discuss how to set up the room once I'm there?"[/quote]
