[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think the substance of the request is off, given that the person was there and had it last time, but I do agree that the lack of plesantries or a friendly tone suggests that this will not be a great roomate experience.  Who wants to live in a room with someone who is not especially friendly or warm?[/quote]

I Agree! She could have said ....hello, looking forward to meeting you, fyi and a little awkward but I was given/ took/ won window spot for year but because of covid packed up in case of no return, my plan is to just move back to same spot so heads up in case you get there before me. It’s a great room/ warm room/ lots of sunlight room and I know you’ll be comfortable......

Some people are self-centered and do not communicate well. Tell dd to go along and look for single or roommate of choosing for future.[/quote]

I HATE this PP's wishy washy, overly apologetic reply with a passion. "oooo.....sorryyy.....it's a little awkward but oops...sorryyyyyyy." STOP. Stop encouraging overly apologetic nonsense.

The email OP shared was perfectly polite and succinct. 
"Hi, I see we will be roommates for Spring Semester. I was on campus last semester and had the bed and desk by the window. For break I had to pack everything as we did not know if we would return to campus. I am not sure of your move in date, mine is ____. [b]If you arrive before me can you please leave the bed and desk by the window for me to move into?” [/b] She said please! She asked - did not demand. [/quote]
