Grad housing with partner
Hi Reddit,
I have a complicated situation and I would like your opinion. I am an incoming phd student, and I got SHORE, so I can live in grad housing for all my phd years, but I can't leave grad housing or I'll lose it.
I've already accepted the housing offer, and I will live with a roomate in Nuevo East. However, my long distance girlfriend then found a job at UCSD, so she will move to San Diego in October. And, of course, I would like to live with her.
So a few questions: how easy is it to change between grad houses? Is that decision only available after one year? It would be great if we could move to a family/couple house (like at Mesa). Or move to a one-bedroom apartment where I could have her as my roomate (she is not a student)?
The other option is for her to move in with me, if I can negotiate with my roomate (it would also lower his rent). I believe that's not allowed, but does anyone even care?
Any advice or ideas you have would be appreciated :)
