A more thorough explanation:

RATIONABILIBUS DIVISIS

Rationabilibus divisis is a Latin term that means "of the fixing of reasonable boundaries." In legal history, it refers to a writ used to settle the boundaries between property owners of different towns when one owner claimed a trespass by the other.

For example, if two neighboring property owners had a dispute over the location of their shared boundary line, they could use the writ of rationabilibus divisis to settle the matter. The writ would appoint a group of impartial individuals to survey the land and determine the exact location of the boundary line, based on what was reasonable and fair to both parties.

Another example could be if a farmer claimed that his neighbor's livestock were grazing on his land, the writ of rationabilibus divisis could be used to determine the exact boundary line between the two properties and prevent any further disputes.

The examples illustrate how the writ of rationabilibus divisis was used to settle disputes between property owners over the location of their shared boundary lines. The writ ensured that the boundaries were fixed in a reasonable and fair manner, based on the evidence presented by both parties. This helped to prevent future disputes and maintain good relations between neighbors.

@Law-Shark: they didn't say we had to go? and if they are willing to buy rooms for a bunch of people. they sent me a res because I was over 50 miles away but I didn't even ask for one
16:42
@Law-Shark: also kind of rude for you to be speaking to me like that, the event started at 9am and I had to wakeup at 4 to drive in. i was tired and couldn't even check in until 4pm if I wanted to so I just drove back. it's unprofessional to offer it the night before and not the day after. they also didn't feed us actual food and we were there until 2pm.

The fact you didn't think a reservation in your name is something you need to be responsible for and cancel if you weren't going to show up to by sending a simple email is absolutely iresponsible.
16:43
I didn't make a reservation tho?
16:44
Yeah, I would have definitely gone to the hotel if I knew they booked a room for me. At the very least, it would be proper to show up personally and explain your extraneous circumstances
Law-Shark
16:44
Nah but it's in your name. I went to an ASD. I asked the school for an extra night and they gave it to me. You just need to plan things better.

Law-Shark

You live and you learn
16:45
because i did let one of the staff know i'd be leaving early and thought that would be enough
16:46
but i was confused why i got an e-mail with a room cuz I didn't ask for it at all
Law-Shark
16:46
Well, you know now what to do.
16:47
well on their end they prob shouldn't just be buying hotel rooms for ppl who don't request it and then getting mad I didn't go
16:48
goof
16:48
Did you get any materials for admitted students day explaining that they would be booking hotel rooms?
16:49
there was an opt in on the form but I didn't select yes
16:49
Hmm, that's weird
16:50
i think it's unprofessional of them to call you like what if you had an emergency and had to leave? why is it their business why you didn't stay? not like they're lacking money and $100.00 hotel room is gona make them bankrupt
16:50
i figured it was an error and I was on the road so I didn't read into it. plus it would make more sense for it to be the night before cuz it started at 9am? so I was like uhhh and paid it no mind
16:51
@bigfatsloth: that's what i'm saying, they were gonna pay no matter what
16:54
"This is like peak disconenct between the male and female brain." like bffr
16:55
It was probably an administrative error then. I can't imagine why they would book hotel rooms for people that didn't select yes. I would maybe follow up with them and apologize for the misunderstanding to avoid any awkwardness
