My Roommate Experience

As soon as I decided to attend the University of Dayton I received an email to request a roommate for the Academic Year 2019-2020. I did not know anyone that was going to attend the University of Dayton so I decided to go random. In July 2019, I received an email from the university revealing my roommate for the academic year. The email contained my roommate’s name, email, and the room we were assigned to. I was assigned to live in Marycrest, which is the University of Dayton’s biggest freshmen hall. When my roommate contacted me through email I was really excited and started chatting with her. I got to know her and we were both thrilled to attend the University of Dayton. In August 2019, when we moved to the University, I got to see her and after the first few weeks, I knew things wouldn’t work out between us. She is really nice and sweet, but we have different personalities. After living with her for a month and a half, she decided to move to a singles room. I had a triple room for myself and absolutely loved it because my friends would come to visit me every time. The room had a lot of space and it was comfortable. A week ago I received an email from housing stating that I would receive a new roommate. The new roommate moved in a couple of days ago and we are getting along really well. Therefore, my roommate’s experience here at UD has been really adventurous, but I have liked it. Now, I am happy with the roommate I have and will continue to get to know her better.
