So basically, I go to an almost Montessori boarding school, where the students get to choose their own dorms and roommates. I have what most people would agree to be the best dorm. This is because the way our dorms are set up, every dorm that is made for two people has a bathroom in it and is bigger than the singles, and single dorms don't have bathrooms and have to share a communal bathroom with three other single dorms. Apperentaly around 3 years before I got to my dorm, multiple people complained that my dorm was too small for 2 people, so the school just made it a single. It was too small because it's next to the laundry room. I chose this room because I have a family friend who told me about it. And because of the way the boarding is set up, I'm going to the same room, just a floor up, every year.
So, where the problem starts is that a girl transferred to our school this year, and is autistic. The school has rooms for people who have disabilities, however, I've never been in one of them. Before spring break, she knocked on my door and asked if we could talk. She basically asked if we could switch dorms (but not really, because I don't qualify for a disability dorm) because my dorm would be better adjusted for her, becasue its close to the laundry room, has a window that faces the quad, etc.
I feel bad, because she said that she lives out of state, and has to spend all weekends and smaller breaks on campus, whereas I live pretty close by and frequently go to my own house, basically whenever I want. And because she is also new and doesn't have many friends on campus, she's also probably gonna spend a lot of time in the dorm. I talked to my school before break, and they said I don't have to do it, but if I wanted to, I could be switched to an open single on campus.
I really love my dorm and don't want to switch, but I feel like I would be a dickhead if I don't, so WIBTA?
