Residence suddenly changed?
Couple weeks ago I checked my residence application and I was in a single room with meal plan group A regular. However I just checked and it says my residence has been changed into a double and my meal plan changed to group A small. Is this an error? Has this ever happened to anyone? Im going to be calling them tomorrow morning, but I would like to get some information about my problem now. Thanks in advance!

They always give you a default so that you can know how much your tuition will roughly cost before residence assignments are released. Now that they have been released, they are changing the prices to your respective rooms and meal plans.

Hasn't it only been a week or two? I think that amount of time sounds right for changing thousands of students payment agreements.

Yea, they were released around two weeks ago or so, but when I checked the residence application to make sure again after seeing a double with washroom on my payment agreement, I was still in the room I was assigned (double without a washroom) |

Thank you to everyone who has replied to my thread 
My situation is exactly like Linh's, so does that mean the room I got on my residence application is wrong? |

Mine is weird too. I had "SUITE" and GROUP B REDUCED for the last payment agreement (which I submitted a week ago) and now I suddenly have "APARTMENT" and GROUP B REGULAR on my payment agreement. Yet, my rez application still says I am in keyes.. I have no idea what the eff is going on.

It might be, but then again it might be right. At this point in time it's hard to tell because I don't know how the admin changes the payment agreements (if they do it one by one or all at the same time).
So it might just mean yours hasn't been changed yet or it might mean that's what you got. You should just wait another week to make sure though.

Hmmm, that is quite odd... I guess something is actually amiss... I would definitively contact housing then.

That happened to me too! Instead of SUITE and GROUP B REDUCED, I now have DOUBLE W/ WASHROOM in my payment agreement. But my rez application says KEYES still too....should I contact residence / housing????
HELPPP this is scary!

Mine has changed too! This doesn't make sense. I had Apartment and Small Reduced Meal Plan. Now on my payment agreement it says I have Double with Washroom and Large Regular Meal Plan. I then logged onto my Res Application and it still says I have an apartment...
Has anyone called? I am out of country so I am not able to!!
