"The way that we left it in May with our House housing person was that it was pretty much guranteed that we would be put together when he gets back," says Henderson.
The reunion was not to be, however.
Henderson was notified in July that the reunion was not in the cards. In addition, his rooming group was assigned a permanent transfer student instead of a semester-long floater, preventing his roommate from returning to their suite.
"In retrospect, after I came back here and found that there were about 15 (permanent) transfer students in my house, not one semester floaters, which makes it look extremely unlikely that there was ever a high possibility that [he] could rejoin us," says Henderson.
Henderson's complaint is basically the same as Harlow's: it is about Harvard's lack of contact.
"Whatever the case may be, I wish that we had been told earlier that he probably wouldn't be able to live with us," says Henderson. "I don't know if we would have done anything differently, but we might have."
