<p>I'm going into UCF next year as a freshman and I'm going into one of the towers (dorming with other freshmen too). I was just wondering will it really be so antisocial? I heard from some people that the towers were great and I met some pretty cool people who were dorming there so that's why I thought it would be a great decision. But now I'm really doubting myself. To put it nicely, all of the roommates I was assigned with don't really seem like my "crowd" (to be rude and blunt, they're seriously weird losers that look gross). They come across as antisocial weirdos and potential 40 year old virgins. I don't know how I ended up with all 3 of mine like this. Not to be judgmental, but I heard it was hard to meet new people living in the towers but people usually came out with one or a few good friends (roommates). I highly doubt that will happen between my roommates and me. The whole experience looks a lot less fun now.
I know, I sound like a terrible a<strong>hole d</strong>chebag, but I'm not a mean person. Of course I'll be nice and friendly with my roommates, I just don't see us becoming close friends. And now I have this fear that if I won't be good friends with my roommates, I won't make any other good friends because I live in towers :/
Seriously, I'd show some pics to get my point across but I don't want to hurt these people. They're probably nice. I just feel so disappointed!! I didn't expect ALL of them to be like this. Sorry if I sound shallow, I'm just concerned and need peace of mind.
Ok, to sound more mature, what was your dorming experience like? Did you do alot outside of class and your dorm room, and how was the social experience living in the towers? Did you become friends with your roommates?
So... should I do anything? I don't want to regret my dorming decision.</p>
<p>Dorming was fine.</p>
<p>Outside of class and living in my dorm, I joined clubs and made friends that way. In addition, I made friends with classmates that I would later study with or hang out with. </p>
<p>Towers is pretty antisocial. The people are friendly, but no one really makes an effort to talk to you unless you meet them elsewhere or you take the initiative. </p>
<p>I didn’t become fantastic friends with my roommates, but we did occasionally do stuff together and we were always on good terms.</p>
<p>Don’t judge them by their facebook profile. It’s a good start to knowing their interests, but it’s not the end all be all. Why don’t you try messaging them? You might find that they are better than expected.</p>
<p>My biggest concern is whether or not it would be worth it to switch to another housing. I know in towers you get your own room, which was a major plus for me. But I’m not sure if its worth missing the social aspect of college. Do you think its worth it to get another dorm? I’m really not looking forward to a lonely year with these people. UCF housing has been nothing but trouble…</p>
<p>Er, let me get this straight. You’re worried that you won’t get along with your roommates because of their appearance? With that kind of attitude, I’m not sure if you’ll make any friends at all. Give them a chance, sheesh.</p>
<p>“I know, I sound like a terrible a<strong>hole d</strong>chebag”</p>
<p>Yeah, you do, but I’ll give you a pass, since you’re clearly right out of high school. We all know what public school does to kids. You should really try to start with a clean mental slate in college. Look past your initial opinions of these roommates being “antisocial weirdos” and “potential 40-year old virgins” and, who knows, they just might be good people. They may be “weird losers who look gross,” but you’re being a judgmental snob, so how does that make you above them?</p>
<p>Of my three roommates in the Towers, I got along with two, and made a friend of one. I made no other long-term friends in my building, and made dozens of friends via my classes, almost all of which shared majors. You likely won’t meet many friends via the Towers; that’s just how it goes, and is why people call it an antisocial solution to room & board at UCF. You’re mainly going to meet people in your classes and extracurricular activities.</p>
<p>You don’t sound like and a**hole to me, that’s just your opinion. Obviously they’re not your type of people. Anyways on to answering your question, listen I’m a girl who loves having my own room but the towers are extremely antisocial, my brother stayed in them and met no one from his building. My sister stayed in the regular Nike dorm and met tons of people just from her dorm alone not even including the other people she met. So it’s really up to you, is it extremely important for you to have your own bed? Or do you want to meet people and have a more fun college experience? Plus ill be there!</p>
