<p>its not so much the sex, although that is bothersome and prohibts my movement between 11 pm and 2 am, but that because the bf is there, they are always talking or, since theyre theatre people, rehearsing or breaking into song. i hate when they do that.</p>
<p>but yea, I'll confront him tomorrow and I'll tell y'all how it goes.</p>
<p>another question: do you think it would be better if I waited till my roommates bf to step out to confront him about it? that way I wouldn't have to tell my roommate his bf has overstayed his welcome right in front of his bf? or should i confront both of em about it? rarely are they not together tho so it would be hard to find an opportunity...</p>
<p>^ definitely do NOT mention this in front of your roomie's BF! it'll make the whole thing more awkward and you don't want 'em ganging up on you or anything (it'll just make it harder if it's the 2 of them vs. you). My advice is wait till the bf leaves and then confront your roommate.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'd do it when the BF isn't there. Then leave it to your roomie to tell his BF. If he isn't cooperative, take the next step and let the RA know the situation.</p>
<p>I'm about three steps from putting in an anonymous complaint with my RA myself. My roommate plays music quite loudly at all hours of the day, and it seems that his headset comes off exactly when I need to study. Then he gets on the phone at all hours of the night obnoxiously laughing his head off and generally being loud. And he's even louder and more obnoxious when his friends are here. God, next time his friends come over I'm gonna go sleep over at my aunt's apartment uptown. This guy makes me miss my roommate last year who decided to smoke a cigarette in our room in my presence. And there's nothing more intolerable than cigarette smoke.</p>
<p>I'm surprised my RA isn't doing anything about this-she lives RIGHT NEXT DOOR and his side of the room is the one that borders my RA's room.</p>
<p>Should have known this would be a hellish year when I found out he was a Tisch student. God, I wish I had a premed roommate. If I can get past him sneering at my prelaw intentions, and general stereotypical premed arrogance, he'd generally be more quiet and most likely never here.</p>
<p>For this coming year, I think I'm going to go and find out where all the premed kids are and go there. Not only would I probably never see my roommate, I probably won't have any noise problems either.</p>
<p>I feel your pain. My roommate's girlfriend stays over all the time. He keeps me awake at night enough, and having his girlfriend over doesn't help. I'm getting out of this next semester, but be glad you're in separate rooms. Also, my roommate didn't even have the courtesy to ask if she could come over the FIRST TIME!</p>
<p>sheesh, kind of comforting to know im not the only one. freshman year my roommate was hell, but my roommate first semester this year was awesome...he was ALWAYS studying/working on a paper and never made a peep, a little weird that he'd just be like a mouse at his desk all day tho, but was pretty awesome and makes me realize how much this situation sucks</p>
<p>currently his my roommates bf is walking around in his boxers like he owns the place as my roommate isnt here...hes talking really loud on the phone...DO THEY NOT EVEN GET THAT THERE IS ANOTHER PERSON LIVING HERE?! UGH. the second i have a chance alone with my roommate i am going to take my frustration out in a calm, measured manner because im cool like that</p>
<p>I really don't understand the appeal of walking around in one's underwear or half naked for that matter, even as a guy. I really don't. Does putting on some sweatpants or pj's so much effort that it can't be done on a daily basis? Really.</p>
<p>I'm lazy, but I'm not so lazy that I can't be bothered to put on some PJ's when I change.</p>
<p>I just talked to my roommate. I called him as I figured it would be next to impossible to talk to him face to face when his bf wasnt around. I was kind of angry when he called back because his bf had been on the phone the whole morning while I was trying to write a paper. But my roommate is really nice so I couldn't really be mad and I'm glad I didn't. In a very mild way I told him how I felt, I think his bf was right there unfortunately woops, and he apologize and explained that his bf was having trouble getting a visa to get out of the country and he would be gone soon and that they would try to be quiet. So hes here for a little while longer but I guess I'm ok with it and happy that theyre not just taking advantage although I wish they had told me what was going on sometime in the past 10 days but whatever.</p>

Haha gotta love those Tisch kids - their general attitude seems to be hey, if I love being loud and spontaneously bursting into song, EVERYONE must love it too!

Huh that's kinda weird...usually when I tell people I'm going for a JD after grad, they're generally either impressed or at least don't think of me as a slacker...Law School ain't exactly easy to go through - I would say it's easier than Med, but still extremely difficult assuming you're not going to some joke school. And when you mention you're aiming for a top 10 law school which is crazy to get into (I usually don't mention this to people lol) then they're generally impressed.</p>
<p>Molly-he's loud, but fortunately he only spontaneously bursts into song when his friends come over. But that's worse, since it's a lot harder to silence 5 drunk college kids than to silence 1 sober one. I can't think of a more heavenly time than when he goes home for the weekend, or goes out and doesn't come back until 3AM.</p>
<p>The arrogance to which I refer is the "I'm premed/engineering, I work so much harder than you for so much lower of a GPA" arrogance. As an econ major, I call this stupid. The return on GPA for time invested is WOEFULLY suboptimal :)</p>
<p>^ LOL I prefer the Tisch kids who are Violin majors. They're usually quiet asian types who live in their studio and practice 8 hours a day...plus the violin is very soothing. :)</p>
<p>Ahh the engineering/pre-med arrogance. Well I don't think those kids are stupid at all - lord knows we need more scientists/engineers in this country, and NYU is sorely lacking in this (our Math program is amazing though) - but I don't tolerate arrogance. I usually slip in I'm studying NeuroScience because it seems like many pre-med kids study Neuro. As for Engineers, they think everyone's dumb, but that's like a hottie thinking everyone's ugly - it doesn't really bother me. </p>
<p>I'd take a snooty Engineer to annoying Tischie anyday! Snooty Engineer is likely very intelligent, if a tad arrogant, but Tischie thinks he's the shiz for being able to tap-dance, convinced he's the next big thing to hit Broadway. (this is a gross generalization of course - I have 1 good Tisch friend (Violin major!)</p>
