<p>I talked to him online and he seems nice, I am just worried that he will turn out bad. Any of you talk to a roommate online and expect someone good but wasnt?</p>
<p>You can't really judge based on online. Try not to worry about wether your assumptions are correct, because there's nothing you can do until you meet him and find out. Then you figure it out from there.</p>
<p>S is now in third year of college. On his first year of college, S also emailed to his roommate before he moved in. In the email, S introduced himself, of course, and all the members in S's family. S also attched family's picture to send to his roommate and asked the roommate to do the same. S's roommate replied very nicely and also attached the family's picture and sent back to S as well. This way they both felt very comfortable knowning each other ahead of time. So on the moved-in day, S and roommate recognized each other right away and so did the whole family. Hope this helps!</p>
<p>interesting way to go about it. never heard of that. i just got the numbers from the reslife office and we called each other just to know who was bringing what and it worked out from there.</p>
<p>I couldn't get my roommate online. When I met her face to face, I found out she is crazy and psychotic. It is better talking to thm online so ya know if they are crazy are not.</p>
<p>I talked to my roommates online and they were cool online but they're big time different in real life- they're a lot better in real life. That might be a thing that's wrong with me, so I don't know. I don't really like meeting people online because they do tend to be really different.</p>
<p>I spoke to my roommate before. I thought it would be amazing. But, it's turning out to be a nightmare. =/ yeah.</p>
<p>I talked to my roommate online, and having lived with her for a couple of days, she has been a*lot* better than what I thought. She's really nice, and we have like, all of the same habits. =] Honestly, talking online is totally different than talking in person, so I really don't think you can judge them too much of what they say online. Calling them would probably be the closest thing to person-to-person.</p>
<p>Just don't worry about it. Worry won't change it, yanno. ;]</p>
