I DO NOT WANT A ROOMMATE IN COLLEGE!?

So, I put down a deposit for a single room when I filled out my housing application and they took my money, no problem. Told me everything was going alright. I got all my cleaning supplies, my fridge, my bedding, everything and some other stuff because I was expecting to be in my room by myself... but they gave me... a double?

I have a roommate?

What? I didn't ask or pay for that.

Here are my problems:
I love people. I really do. But I do not like other people's mess. There is a bathroom in the dorm room and I plan on keeping it clean and neat and everything. I really don't know how I feel about pooping and showering in such close proximity with someone else.
If my college had a community shower, I would deal because there is nothing else I can do. But living with someone else's poop and pee. T_T You have to be kidding me.

Also, doubles have bunk beds. I told admissions I have a phobia of bunk beds. If I'm on the top bunk, I'll fall of. If I'm on the bottom I won't sleep all night because I have a fear that the top bunk will fall on me in my sleep. Both have happened before. I'm marked for life.

So... I dunno what I should do. I go move in on September 13th. I'm kinda considering going in sometime in January. Maybe that'll fix my situation. I have no idea.

Help?! They still haven't called me back in it's been 4 days. The drive is about an hour, but I'll do it if I have to.

Please, don't think I'm a freak. I just have certain fears.
 
To start, i don't think you're a freak. Everyone has fears...i also hate being in bunk beds lol. You paid for a single room so you should get a single room. If it isnt too much trouble drive down there and sort it out because you wont sort it out over the phone, and if you do it'll take a while. Go down there and find out what's going on, because they arent allowed to put you in a room with someone else if you've said you want a single room. I hope you sort it all out. Im starting college in a year so hopefully the same wont happen to me.
 
First of all, get it straight, Did you pay full price for a room for yourself? Or Did you pay half for a dorm that you would have to share? You have to figure that out first. If you payed full price for a room for yourself, then you are entitled to a room for yourself only.

If not, you have to learn to deal with it. Most people share dorm rooms you know.
 
If it were me, I'd drive the distance to the college. See whomever necessary to get this straightened out. If you paid for a single and they have forced you into a double, demand you be given a single! Take no excuses! If they refuse, then demand a full refund on whatever funds you have paid them and enroll in a different college. Doesn't sound as if the college you have chosen really gives a sh!t about it's students.
