In December I booked my student flat for the next academic year. It was the same flat I had lived in before and due to its benefits over other flats (extra fridge, oven, and location) I booked early to secure it. 

Today I received an email from the flat managers asking if I would be happy to swap rooms, as a group of 6 people wanted to book together and there were no empty flats available, and as I’m the only person in this flat booked at the moment I would be easiest to swap.  It wouldn’t be too big an issue for me to swap, but I know this flat is the best for me, so I refused a swap. I’m feeling slightly guilty now though, and have had people say I should have and swapped and people saying I was right to refuse. 

So am I the asshole or not?
