Can you recall your experience with your college dorm roommate? Was it a good relationship or a nightmare?

I start college in 12 days. ๐Ÿ™‚ I’m worried about my roommate. A good friend and I had plans to dorm together, but we applied late so we just got stuck with whoever they decided to put us with.

She got a triple occupancy room, but I’m just sharing a room with one other person. I hope I dont get a theif!

Anyway, what was your roomie like? Did you become good friends, worst enemies, or was it just a pretty neutral aquentice-like relationship?

Share your experiences! ๐Ÿ™‚

When I started my first year at university (last september), I was totally unplanned. I didn’t know where I was living, how far it was from the centre of campus, or whom I was moving in with.

It turned out fantastically. I was put with 5 other people from all other backgrounds, some I liked one I didn’t like (no one else did either)

A lot of my friends from uni are actually from neighbouring apartments. You have absolutely nothing to worry about. University is such an open and sociable place you can’t go wrong. Be yourself and go with the flow!

My first roommate and I were polar opposites. We were just assigned to each other. She was very disrespectful and didn’t understand why I wanted to study in college. She brought a random guy back to her place after she broke up with her boyfriend. She didn’t bring him in until after I was asleep. It was pretty awful. She kicked me out of the room so she could have sex when she wanted. The housing department was no help to be either. My second year I chose who I wanted to live with. I got along with her and while she got on my nerves a couple times, it wasn’t too bad. Last year I was placed with a random person and that didn’t work out so I moved in with a friend. I thought that would work but then I found that she watched TV all afternoon and evening after work and left it on at night. She also talked to her boyfriend on the phone during that time even though I was doing my homework and writing papers on my computer which had to be in the room. Half my stuff was still in the hallway by the end of the semester because she didn’t leave room for my things, and I’m not a person to pack a lot. So this year I’m living in a room by myself. It really depends on how well you know the person you’re going to live with. I’ve heard a LOT of people who have good experiences and joke with me that I got all the bad ones. The important thing to remember is to speak out if you feel like you’re being walked over and just keep up some type of communication so if something bad happens, you at least have some dialogue.

My first roommates were assholes. They were never friendly and i knew they hated me from day one. I’d come back from a party and find glue on the door knob, or other crap. One asshole left a container of urine in the refrigerator. They blamed me for making a mess when I was hardly ever there. Thankfully I changed apts. and find a roommate I got along with much better.
