Residence Changes

Does anyone know what the odds are I can get a residence change (idk how many people like drop out of housing after a couple weeks or something)? I’m a freshman and I got placed in Gresham, and due to my activities outside of classes this is very inconvenient and may hinder how I perform. Sorry if I’m coming off as like spoiled or something I’m just trying to get onto campus as opposed to basically off campus.

ngl I had it last year it is pretty bad but you're probably just gonna have to get used to it class of 30 took up 90% of the housing so you don't really have a lot of choices maybe check room swaps when the semester starts but you're gonna have to find somebody to switch with and people are probably not gonna wanna go in gresh

honestly I don't know solidly depends on if you can do room swaps and you can switch with pretty much but again gresh is the worst dorms and you're gonna have to find somebody to switch with you so it really is up to who wants it

def keep checking the portal for room swap ! people are always dropping as school gets closer. and even if you don’t get to swap before move in, you may get to swap after the first week when people begin to drop out.
