<p>My daughter didn’t get what she wanted either but we decided not to try to switch. There’s no way you can know what will work for you given the little bit of info you can find on line about the dorms. You can switch dorms and get a roommate you don’t get along with, you can think you want big party dorm and then realize you’re not a fan of “swinging from the chandelier” and still getting to class at 8am.</p>
<p>They do make you sign the form before you find out who your roommate is (at least we couldn’t figure out any other way) so you can try to change it but mostly just suck it up and keep on going. Hopefully this will be your biggest disappointment in your four years at Northwestern!</p>
<p>As yummymango said “My first choice! I hope I like it.” No way to know until you’re there.</p>
