<p>Move-in day is practically over and only one person, my roommate, showed up to leave her belongings at the apartment. She said she would return when classes begin and had no interest in participating in any college events before classes start. </p>
<p>My other apartment mates have about 15 minutes to show up, but I doubt they will. I am thinking that they would not be interested in participating in any other activities, like clubs, intramural sports, or just going out as a group because they didn't show up on the weekend for move-in.</p>
<p>Has this happened to you? If so, how did your roommates turn out after they moved in? How did you like them? Were they social and willing to participate in school activities, etc? </p>
<p>I wish I would have known, so I could have brought a radio/stereo and my bf for a little vacation :D , but now I'm stuck here alone. I really wouldn't mind it any other weekend, but not the first week. I feel weird and creepy. I don't have my bike and buses are not running often with it being the weekend, so I can't even discover the town.</p>
<p>I have some friends that moved into apartments and many of them did not move in until classes started, or moved stuff in but didn’t actually start living there until classes start. I don’t think it’s particularly unusual. Why not go introduce yourself to your neighbors? Especially if you’re living in a building with a lot of other students it’ll be nice to know them even if you don’t become friends.</p>
<p>I suppose so, I would just feel like a weirdo knocking on someone’s door randomly, since some people at the apartment complex are continuing students and have their group of friends. I thought about doing that for my RCs. And, if it gets ackward… I’d just pretend I’m lost and needed info. </p>
<p>But, wait, somebody actually here… o.O I don’t know if she is spending the night, yet.</p>
<p>Trust me, it’s expected in the first few weeks and totally fine. Even continuing students like to get to know the new folks around them at the beginning of the year. You can just say, “hey, I just moved in next door and thought I’d come say hi and introduce myself,” then you introduce yourselves and then you can just say, “okay, well I’ll see you around!” It doesn’t have to go beyond that if that’s all your comfortable with. I went around my dorm and did that the first few days, and now when we pass by each other we say hi and can make conversation. And it’s really good to know your neighbors in case of an emergency.</p>
