Requests for room changes are considered beginning the second week of classes, if there is available space. You can initiate a room change through your Residential Community Director by completing the room change request form on CampusGroups.
Different lifestyles do not mean that there will be problems between you and your roommate. Roommates' smoking preferences and at least two of the four other lifestyle indicators will usually match.
Unfortunately, we cannot release any details about why your previous roommate may have been removed from your room. The most common reason is that he/she decided not to attend CWRU. We continue to assign students throughout the summer to ensure that everyone has a room.
The University is not liable, directly or indirectly, for loss of or damage to any article of personal property anywhere on the premises caused by fire, water, steam, insufficient heat, the elements, or actions of third persons.

Yes, laundry facilities are provided in every residence hall. Laundry is included in the room rate. No more need to bring quarters for laundry! All washing machines are high-efficiency front-loading Maytag™ Neptune™ machines. We would highly recommend that you bring high-efficiency detergent (look for the "he" on the bottle).
All machines are also equipped with Laundryview, a program where you can go online via the housing website and check the availability of washers and dryers. Click here for more information.
You can put in a request to have your bed lofted before you move-in. Go to MyHousing and click on MyAssignments. Under your fall housing assignment is the form to request to have your bed lofted.
