[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be worried that this girl is pretty self focused.  It is just not a great way to begin a room mate relationship. [b] Yes I see that she had that bed last semester but that roommate left.  It is a new start.

I would not reply for a while.  My reply might include something about waiting to hear on my single.

In the end it will probably be fine.[/quote]

Really, so if the current resident hadn't had to remove all of his or her stuff, you think the new roommate could have come in and said, "It's a new start, let's flip for your bed!"?  Of course not, that's ridiculous.  I don't see why this situation should play out any differently.  [/quote]

Really?  I remember my freshman year in college, my rooming group had a situation where there were some rooming options that was clearly superior to the rest (it was a suite with not enough single bedrooms for all -- some would get a single, others would have to double up).  We didn't do it by "first dibs" and have that be the way all year -- in fact, the only argument not to change is that it's not worth it to move.  We switched at semesters.  That seems fair. [/quote]

We did that too but that's totally different.  [/quote]
