I don’t know why my roommate and I are having such bad luck with housing at Rutgers…<\/p>\n
We both got terrible<\/strong>\u00a0lottery numbers and as of right now, not only do we still<\/em> not have housing for the fall semester but there are another 20 people ahead of us on the waitlist. It has gotten to the point where I can’t even name a single person I know who doesn’t already have their living arrangements figured out for the fall.<\/p>\n Let’s just say if my roommate and I\u00a0could commute, we’d be commuting.<\/p>\n With off-campus options running out and very little time left for an on-campus offer, I feel like we only have one option left. Rutgers has a rainbow gender-neutral dorm for the LGBT community and my roommate and I would both be eligible to live there together.<\/p>\n The problem: I don’t know what I’m going to tell my parents.<\/span><\/p>\n They’ll either see it the way I see it and be super happy and grateful that such an option\u00a0exists…<\/p>\n …Or…<\/p>\n They’ll FREAK OUT and forbid me from living there.<\/p>\n (Again, I don’t think<\/em> they’d react that\u00a0negatively but I never really know what to expect anymore.)<\/p>\n
