[nabs-l] Blindness and roommates

[Lizzy]

Hi Sami,
At most colleges, on-campus housing is hard to get and single 
rooms are a luxury.  The problems that you've mentioned seem like 
the product of a bad roommate matching process, and don't appear 
to have anything to do with blindness.  Definitely try to switch 
rooms for next semester.  Keep in close touch with your RA and 
the director of Residence Life to make sure it happens.  You 
might not get a single room, but just ask for roommates who have 
similar sleeping hours/social lives to your own.  They should be 
able to match you based on complaints that they've received from 
other students throughout the semester.  This is definitely not 
uncommon for any first-year student, and is typically cleared up 
after a roommate switch.
Best,
Lizzy
