can I live in a dormroom if i snore?

Question

Hi, i'm currently in college but would like to transfer to a different college a little bit further away. I would really like to be an architect but to study it i need to be at a different school. I had a sleep study done and the snoring has something to do with my jaw (open bite)--according to the results, on a scale of 1-5 my snoring is a 3. I would really like to follow my dream but i feel terribly embarrassed about my snoring and even more horrible to imposed my problem unto some unsuspecting student. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts and/ or advices you can give me.
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

If they banned snorers from dorm rooms, half the colleges in America would have empty residence halls!

But since you're already identified as a "problematic snorer", asking about a single room sounds like a good move (especially if you're willing to share the results of the sleep study with the residential advisory staff; MIGHT get you a better chance for a single).

Otherwise, be honest, tell them on the form that you're a heavy snorer (hey, it's not all that different from saying "night owl" or "prefer quiet-hours dorm"), so you might be matched with someone who doesn't mind the noise (or who brings earplugs).

I know some folk who can sleep through the sound of earthmoving equipment at dawn, so you might not be that hard to match up with a roommate, especially since you're being courteous and indicating a potential challenge exists.

Good luck on your proposed transfer and future as an architect!

Answer 2

you could just ask for a single room. if you cant get one, try to get a roomate who snores too. or else do something about your snoring.

Answer 3

Some dorms have single rooms maybe that would be a possibility

Answer 4

you could buy an appartment off campus if you want, or maybe ask if theres someone else who snores
