In general, students are not allowed to change dormitories once their stay has begun<\/strong>. Dormitory assignments at 3D ACADEMY are determined before your arrival based on your application, preferences, and availability at the time of booking. However, we understand that unexpected situations can arise. If you have a valid and reasonable reason<\/strong>, we are willing to consider your request\u2014within the limits of room availability and fairness to other students.<\/p>\n This FAQ explains our dorm change policy, why changes are limited, and what to do if you believe a room change is necessary.<\/p>\n Changing dormitories may sound like a simple request, but in reality, it affects a wide range of logistical, social, and fairness-related factors. Here are the main reasons we have a “no-change” policy by default<\/strong>:<\/p>\n If we allow one person to change dorms for personal comfort, many others may request the same. This creates unfair situations, especially for those who may be enduring similar discomfort but choose to respect the system.<\/p>\n Dormitories\u2014especially popular room types such as single or hotel-style rooms\u2014are often fully booked. Making changes mid-stay disrupts planned allocations and may leave rooms underutilized or overfilled.<\/p>\n Changing rooms involves:<\/p>\n Reassigning cleaning schedules<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Updating records and security lists<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Managing room deposits and rental periods<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Potential roommate disruption<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n For these reasons, we ask all students to think carefully before choosing their dormitory type during the application process. If you\u2019re unsure about which option is best for you, our admissions team is happy to offer guidance before your arrival.<\/p>\n While our policy is to avoid mid-term changes, we recognize that certain situations may require special attention. We will consider your request if you have a reasonable, documented reason<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Examples of acceptable reasons<\/strong> may include:<\/p>\n Medical conditions<\/strong> requiring a quieter or more private space<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Serious roommate conflicts<\/strong> not resolvable through communication<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Severe sleep or allergy issues<\/strong> caused by specific room conditions<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Documented safety concerns<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Examples of not sufficient reasons<\/strong> include:<\/p>\n “I just want more privacy”<\/p>\n<\/li>\n “My friends are in a different building”<\/p>\n<\/li>\n “I changed my mind”<\/p>\n<\/li>\n “The weather is too hot\/cold in my room”<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n If you believe your case is valid, please speak with the school office. We\u2019ll ask you to explain your situation and may arrange a brief meeting with staff to assess the case.<\/p>\n If you wish to request a dorm change, please follow these steps:<\/p>\n Visit the school office<\/strong> and politely explain your situation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n If necessary, fill out a Room Change Request Form<\/strong>, including your current dorm type, reason for the request, and any supporting documents (e.g., medical notes).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The school team will review your case<\/strong>, usually within 2\u20133 working days.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n If approved and a suitable room is available, you will be notified of the details and any additional fees.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n If not approved, we will try to offer advice or solutions to improve your current stay.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n Please understand that submitting a request does not guarantee approval<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Yes\u2014in most cases, a room change requires a room type upgrade<\/strong>, which comes with a fee adjustment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Examples:<\/p>\n Moving from a 6-person shared room to a 2-person room \u2192 additional charge<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Changing from an on-campus room to a hotel-style room \u2192 rate difference applies<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Downgrading is rarely permitted, as it leaves rooms underbooked<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n If a change is granted due to a medical emergency or school-related reason<\/strong>, fees may be waived or discounted at the discretion of management.<\/p>\n Roommate compatibility issues are one of the most common reasons for dorm change requests. While we encourage students to work things out respectfully, we understand that not all roommate situations are ideal.<\/p>\n Before considering a room change, we encourage the following:<\/p>\n Open communication<\/strong>: Politely discuss issues with your roommate. Many problems stem from misunderstandings.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Set clear boundaries<\/strong>: Talk about noise levels, sleep times, cleanliness, and personal space.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Speak to staff<\/strong>: If you\u2019re uncomfortable addressing it directly, our staff can help mediate.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Document serious concerns<\/strong>: If there\u2019s ongoing harassment, unsafe behavior, or rule violations, report it formally.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n If a room change is approved due to a roommate issue, we\u2019ll make every effort to minimize disruption for both parties.<\/p>\n Switching between on-campus and off-campus (hotel) dormitories is rarely approved unless:<\/p>\n There is a medical necessity<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n You are upgrading to a more private room and space is available<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Your original dorm becomes unavailable for operational reasons<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Hotel dormitories are managed independently, and room arrangements often involve contracts and coordination with third-party facilities. These types of changes may require additional paperwork and higher costs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n If you feel uncomfortable in your room from the very beginning of your stay, please notify staff within the first week<\/strong>. While changes are still not guaranteed, early notice makes it easier for us to manage possibilities.<\/p>\n Requests made midway or late into your stay<\/strong> are much harder to accommodate, as most rooms are already occupied and housekeeping schedules are fixed.<\/p>\n Q: Can I move to a single room if one becomes available?<\/strong> Q: What if I don\u2019t like the dorm building or location?<\/strong> Q: Can I swap rooms with another student?<\/strong> Q: Will I get a refund if I move to a cheaper dorm type?<\/strong> At 3D ACADEMY, we do our best to match students with the most suitable accommodation from the start. While dorm changes are not generally allowed, we are not inflexible<\/strong>. If you have a genuine reason<\/strong> that affects your ability to enjoy your stay or concentrate on your studies, please talk to us.<\/p>\n Our goal is to maintain fairness for all students while supporting individual needs. With clear communication and mutual respect, we can usually find a solution\u2014even if that doesn\u2019t always involve changing rooms.<\/p>\n If you’re unsure, the best first step is simply to speak with us.<\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7266,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dormitory-daily-life"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
