You only have to clear out during the summer. We're issued trunks (Harry Potter style) and there is space, creatively named the Trunk Room, where we can store our trunks. Most everything will fit in those, so it doesn't have to go home. As a side note, except for the lucky few who manage to stay in the same room from the previous semester, most everyone will change rooms every semester.
Didn't see that you had already answered this! Creative is a good word, to say the least.
Yes! Draws are swapped, in the new annexes where the closet bars are removable, those are swapped, trunks are carried around on dollies but if there are no dollies available then longboards or desk chairs do the trick.
She will have roommates changed during swab summer every couple of weeks. Roommates are changed every semester during the first year. Very little “input” into anything the first year.
My DS sometimes trains on the campus of Connecticut college with his USCGA Sandhurst squad. However I haven’t heard of any interaction between students.
Read post #31 above to find your answer. They request a roommate for 3C year onwards.
Depending on company, roommate requests are allowed as early as first semester although that's rare - most allow for roommate choices second semester of 4/c year.
I'm well aware, seeing as how I too am a 3/c here in New London as I type this. While that may have been your DS's experience, I can personally guarantee you that some companies do allow it, as I chose my roommate last semester.
