Hey. I’m a 19yr. freshman aspiring to move (3 hours away) with a close friend for my first semester @UMontana. I’ve recently contacted enrollment services with my obligatory reasons, which included short-distance, financial affordability, along with horrible sibling and friend dorm-life experiences, which amounted to moreover overwhelming and shoddy experiential distractions than actual benefits.

They responded generically, with the “studies-show” nonsense, listing standard lease exceptions entailing married/medical/health/employer-necessities/family-status, etc.

My question is: What authority do they actually possess? What exploitative steps might anyone with experience on the matter suggest to me?

This is my impregnable stance, and my friend’s living status is dependent on this. So anyone contemplating either a reiteration of the same campus living > success spiel, or an attempt at swaying me by means of recollecting personal dorm-room triumphs might instead elect not to respond.
