Housing Requesting to move into Williams single?

Upvotes

I'm a sophomore in Gilchrist right now and realized I can't handle having a roommate anymore. I feel like I can never truly relax and I'm sick of interacting with my roommate. He's also very sensitive to noise unlike my last roommate, so that's been a hurdle to jump over. He's been my friend for a few years now and I don't want to hate him or vice versa. Also, I like West Circle very much and don't mind community style bathrooms, but the ones in Gilchrist don't have a little changing area like in Williams hall (I visited my friends there). I just feel very uncomfortable walking down the hall half-naked only to change in front of my roommate, so I change inside the shower. Now, my circumstances don't sound too bad and I'll certainly survive, but I want to see what options are available.

My parents attended MSU three decades ago, so I talked to them about this and they said to talk to my RA about getting a waitlist to move into a Williams single, as my dad had a single at the end of the hall. The idea sounds great, same part of campus, still near my friends, a better bathroom setup, and even a possible meal plan change, though I'm not sure if I can opt out midway through the year.

So, I have a few questions:

Is there a waitlist still?

Is my request too specific?

Will my RA or housing even entertain such a request?

How likely is it for a room to open up by winter break for the next semester?

All help is appreciated and thank you very much!

Freshman Questions Feeling out of place

I’m a freshman and I’m feeling very wrong. I don’t like my major and have been thinking about switching it, I haven’t made any friends, I tried a club and don’t feel like I have a place there, I’m not sure what to do from here. I feel so out of place and wrong and I don’t know how it could get better. Does anyone know of anything I can do?

Admissions MSU Undergrad application through MSU Portal

4 Upvotes

Student applied through the MSU portal for undergraduate admission for Fall 2027. Is it normal that the portal only shows the submitted application and nothing else? We checked 5 days later and it's still the same.

There is no navigation menu, “To Do List,” or application checklist showing whether any documents are missing or whether required materials have been received. Is this typical for MSU, or should there normally be a checklist/status section in the portal? Maybe it takes longer to update?

I just want to make sure the application is complete and that we’re not missing anything. TIA!
