That's exactly our dilema. NYU housing(like the rest of the University) is a crazy labryinth of a hierarchy with different departments and and levels. "Colleen" and I went through alot of meetings with first our R.A., then our building manager, then the residence life office, and then the housing office. Finally we were told that all we could do is to fill out a room change request form, which we proceeded to do. About a week before moving to campus we recieved letters telling us that it couldn't be accomodated. And so we are screwed. But mediation sounds like it might be the best thing right now, plus one of my sisters is going abroad second semester so if it gets REALLY bad I'll just move into the house...although I would really feel bad abandoning Colleen, who is one of my best friends here. It's a very messy situation.
On a good note, I found out yesterday that my suitemate from the third room(our suite has 3 rooms, 2 people in each) and her roomate lived in the same residence hall last year and were friendly aquaintances with him. So since through my boyfriend we already have that connection, I'm hoping that Paula's lies won't have much clout. Personally, I don't know whether or not to bring up the situation to them, I haven't so far because I don't want them to have to deal with crap they're not involved in, but at the same time it will be weird for them watching Colleen and I interacting(or rather, avoiding interacting) with Paula. What do you guys think about it?
And thanks for your advice and help so far!
