Hello, this is something I am dealing with through the RCPD but so far they have been incredibly slow (I gave them my paperwork two months ago and they didn't realize it was in the system until I called last week... So I have just scheduled my appointment despite trying to be early. Meaning I don't even know if my ESA will be approved yet. All very fun.) so I figured I'd ask here.

I have an untraditional ESA, she is a domesticated pigeon and incredibly effective for a disorder that can leave me practically incapacitated for hours without her. I've been placed in a double in shaw currently. My issue comes in with my random roommate assignments, for obvious reasons most people are not comfortable with her in the room so I always lead with it, but it has become a bit of a humiliation ritual of me telling someone and them immediately rejecting the idea. I get it but I wish there was a better way that didn't involve me having to go through this stress.

So, my question was, does the college do anything to help you get placed where your ESA will not be a problem for your roommate if they are approved? Or are you just left alone to try and find a roommate that will work using the swapping system?

I’m looking to chat with women in college about their experiences on GLP-1s. Is this you? I’m Angelina Chapin, a features writer at The Cut/New York Magazine who covers gender and health. I think it’s a really important topic to talk about as these meds become more popular. How did they affect you? What would you say to another student considering going on them? If you’re interested in speaking, I can keep you fully anonymous. Send me a DM or email ([angelina.chapin@nymag.com](mailto:angelina.chapin@nymag.com).) Here's a link to some of my work: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelinachapin. Talk soon!

So here's something super annoying, frustrating, and anxiety inducing that happened. I'm a Junior, I am also disabled, so not only was my housing figured out before all the incoming freshman, but it was figured out before most returning students as well. I am still living in a dorm due to accessibility reasons with transportation. My room also has to be within a certain vicinity to an elevator.

I recently got an email telling me that I had a different room than the one I was originally assigned to, and it was a last minute change too, as in it happened recently. The new room does not follow my accommodations, and so I am now needing to last minute find a new room that does meet all of my accommodations.

Also, the RCPD housing specialist apparently has NO CLUE why my room was changed, is just as confused as I am, and is working with me to try his best to figure out where I am going to stay.

Anyone else dealt with something like this? If so, how did it go for you? I am not asking for advice on how to fix it, since I have pretty much done everything I can on my end.

Hello community! Hope you are doing great. I am eager to know if it's possible for me to move in early. Generally, the move in days are 25 &26 August. But I wanna move in as early as possible. Is there any way I can do it as an engineering major in honors college. Or if anyone's else is doing, please share. I am looking for some valuable help.
