<p>^ This is true. I think I was one of the people who said “I’m chill and layed back” and I got friend requests from the same 15-20 people who were adding everyone on the page, and then I never ended up seeing/hanging out with them at all. </p>
<p>Its better to find someone who shares an interest with you. Especially if your school lets you choose roommates.</p>
<p>All I’ll say is that I left Facebook three months ago and I don’t miss it at all. One of the best decisions I’ve made this whole year. Do yourself a favor.</p>
<p>I would pick a roommate that posted they’re looking forward to working hard and having a good time 100/100 times. I’m not looking for some lazy kid who goes to college solely to party. Of course kids will party. But, in my opinion, School > Partying…</p>
<p>Sometimes i wish i could leave facebook. But thats how I keep in touch with a lot of people that i work with or have worked with in the past. Important information is shared which i would loose out on if i quit</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Don’t forget “I like meeting new people”, “I like to party”, and “I can be by myself but also like being with other people”. After a while, I can’t tell anyone apart.</p>
<p>I just find it silly that everyone thinks finding a roommate on Facebook is better than just going random. You’re not going to really know someone by meeting them on Facebook. All you really get out of it is a name and a face, especially if you pick someone describing themselves generically as “chill and laid-back.” The things that actually matter in a roommate, like habits, usually aren’t discussed and many people will make themselves sound like a better roommate than they actually are, even if they don’t mean to.</p>
<p>All in all odds are that you won’t be BFF with your roommate. Most people do get sick of each other and living in such close proximity to someone just sucks. A lot of people are also just crappy roommates by nature - I am, I take steps to limit it as much as possible but the fact of the matter is that it’s just not a great situation for most people. I think a lot of people go into college thinking, “I have to make sure that my roommate and I are perfectly compatible and we will be best friends like in the movies!” Though that does happen for some, I think it’s more common than not to just have a roommate you simply coexist with.</p>
<p>OU is a party school. </p>
<p>Any Ohio high schooler with half a brain got out of Ohio for college. Or at least went to Cincy, OSU or Case</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>One of my friends going to PSU said roughly this. Believe me, we gave him a hard time about it. But it was all in good fun.</p>
<p>“Any Ohio high schooler with half a brain got out of Ohio for college”</p>
<p>That’s a pretty ****ing ignorant comment. Im sure many people with “half a brain” have done quite well for themselves without going to the schools you mentioned.</p>
