<p>Have your stuff stolen? Music too loud? Anything?</p>
<p>my dad came from a ~800 person town in the boondocks of michigan and went to a catholic university in texas to find his roomie to be a nietzsche-idolizing devil worshipper.</p>
<p>i take it as sheltered-catholic-boy meets a slightly more evil version of ashton kutcher's roomie in "the butterfly effect" :)</p>
<p>My older cousins have had such bad roomate experiences that they categorize bad roomates into four groups: 1. pigs, 2. neat freaks, 3. basket cases/psychotic ppl, and, of course, 4. sex-crazed people</p>
<p>I forgot to post my sister's experience</p>
<p>Her roommate kept knocking her stuff over, would tear down any posters that she didn't like, and was just what you call a *****. She ended up getting pregnant one month into her freshman year, and kicked out the second. I believe she ended up having a mental disorder.</p>
<p>I have pity for your sister . . . 's roomate.</p>
<p>Ah yes, more inspiration to get a single...</p>
<p>My D thought she did everything right....she met her roommate at the summer orientation, discovered they had a fair amount in common including the scholarship program they were on. However, as she puts it..."I didn't ask if she was sexually promiscuous". It turned out to be a very tough year for my D living with this girl. Don't think I would have stuck it out.<br>
I don't really know how you can protect yourself completely from a bad roommate. I believe much of it is just luck---good or bad.</p>
<p>I'm with Dani... I have a single and the only problem with my roommate is that she doesn't clean up after herself ;)</p>
<p>I know someone who has gone through 4 roomates. LOL.</p>
<p>Well let "someone" know its problem not the roomates - its them :D</p>
<p>My friend just got notified that she will be living in a common room that has been converted to a dorm room...with 4 other girls. That would be hell, not even separate rooms, just 5 girls all together...be interesting to see how it works out.</p>
<p>i think the real question lies in the number of bathrooms, not separate rooms ;-)</p>
<p>What about roomates who snore?</p>
<p>the one thing that I won't be able to stand is if I get a stoner roommate.</p>
<p>drinking, I don't care about so much.
but pot and other drugs... no way man.</p>
<p>Easy. Spike their stash with smoked chipotles.</p>
<p>hmm, since when was nietszche associated with the devil. perhaps an idiot would associate it with Hitler, and ashton kutchers room mate wasnt evil, perhaps he was silly, and quite odd whisteling moussorgsky, but man, <strong><em>ing evangelicle *</em></strong>***</p>
<p>when i went to camp a few years ago at uc santa cruz(camp not college), i was placed with a really weird kid who stole my stuff and drew pictures of slugs that he said were going to kill me. </p>
<p>i started carrying around salt.</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>aha, i didn't say nietszche was the devil, the kid just loved the guy and happened to be a satanist.</p>
<p>and that's why i said a "slightly more evil version" of ashton's roomie; it's just an amusing visual to imagine amidst the kids straight out of catholic high school.</p>
<p>My roommate freshman year was weird.. She was a nice enough girl, and we got along okay.. but noone I would ever really be friends with. We both liked the same kind of music, and she had a radio show on campus.. which was cool. Every night at 9 she'd have to be home for her boyfriend to call, and they'd talk till like 1 am. Every weekend he'd have to come up on Friday and stay till Sunday. During the week when I wasn't in the room she'd blare music and run around dancing all crazy in only boxers/bra (not that that's a problem, just found it funny). I walked in on her quite a few times doing that. Whenever she did laundry she would have to "hang dry" her thongs. So she set up a drying rack RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of our room and hung them from there. It wouldn't of been a problem if it was like at night time while we were sleeping, but she'd do that during the days when I was bringing friends home and stuff. She did a bunch of other things that kind of annoyed me too, but like I said.. we got along fine.</p>
<p>I lived with a different girl my second year, and we kept living together till we graduated. Two other girls moved in with us junior year, and one other girl moved in senior year. The one girl graduated a semester early and another friend of ours moved in for that semester, but for the most part we all got along really well. I got really annoyed with my roommates the last two or three weeks of school because they were being all weird.. so I just started going to my bestfriend at school's house.. I think I slept at his house more the last two weeks then I did at my own apartment, haha. I'm just glad his couch was comfortable.</p>
<p>I talked to my roommate through email before we moved in and thought that we were going to get along great! But when I got there came to realize that we were very different. One day I heard her talking to her friends outside our room about me and saying that I was "more the sorority type" and that I wasn't going to be very studious. Classes hadn't even started!! Lets just say that I got a single room the next semeseter and didn't have to deal with her jugding me all the time.</p>
