Input: My dorm building is kind of old, and the rooms aren’t all the same size. Mine and my roommate’s room is bigger than average; we’re on the end of the building so it’s long and the ceiling is slanted so it can’t be tripled. It’s maybe 25% bigger than the other rooms in the building. There’s only 4 rooms of this size in the building that aren’t tripled (about 40-50 rooms total) so my roommate and I definitely got lucky. It also has a more private bathroom (one stall between 5 people instead of 2 stalls between 10-12). 

We got assigned our rooms randomly. This girl ended up with one of the smaller rooms, which sucks, but it’s still bigger than your average dorm room. None of the rooms in our building are bad, hard stop. 

She’s been in my room before to ask my roommate questions about a class they were taking together, and she always comments on the size and how jealous she is (her words). She complains fairly often about how small her room is and how she wishes she had more space. 

I know this girl from high school because we had mutual friends. We’re also in the same program together and have done group projects together so I know her fairly well. We don’t hang out outside of class so we’re not really friends, but definitely friendly. 

Today one of my friends told me that this girl had told her she was going to try and request my room for next year. When my friend told her that my roommate and I were going to request our room again, the girl said “oh, maybe I won’t.” I know her though, and I know she would do it anyways even though she said she wouldn’t. 

Would I be the asshole if confronted her about it? I was really taken aback when my friend told me the girl was going to try and request my room. It felt like a really shitty thing to do. 
I know it’s not “my” room, because the school owns it and I was really lucky to get it in the first place, etc. etc. but I couldn’t help feeling a little betrayed. I was thinking about it and I would be genuinely mad if she got the room next year. Which isn’t exactly a fair reaction, bc again, the room isn’t technically mine, but I can’t help but feel some ownership over it since I’ve been living in it for over half a year. I understand why she wants the extra space, but this is mine and my roommate’s room, and she knows we really like it. 

If I did talk to her about it I would suggest she request the room across from mine and my roommates bc it’s the same size and I know the girls who live there are moving out next year.
