<p>Have you guys contacted your roommates yet? I haven't contacted them and they havent contacted me yet. I'm thinking I'll probably call them tomorrow. Won't it be strange to just call them like that? Anyways, what should I talk to them about? Just introduce myself and then talk about who is going to bring the television, vacuum cleaner and so on?</p>
<p>Do you have their email addresses? </p>
<p>Yes, when you call them, definitely have a goal so there isn't room for awkwardness or silence or "So, how's your summer going?"</p>
<p>I only have their phone numbers</p>
<p>If you want to email and not call, here's what you can do:</p>
<p>Since you have their phone number, search it on the ucla directory (<a href="http://www.directory.ucla.edu/%5B/url%5D">http://www.directory.ucla.edu/</a>) and if your roommate didn't take down their number from the directory, you'll find their name and email there.</p>
<p>i met mine at the UCLA stanford game.</p>
<p>I contacted them the day roomie info got out. I looked their phone numbers up on Google and found their last names, then searched for them on Facebook and messaged one girl. The other girl was going by a nickname, so I called her straight up and told her I was her roomie. And then we tried to set up a chat room so we could talk about who's bringing what. </p>
<p>Maybe it's a good thing that you waited so long, because I totally forgot what I was supposed to bring by now.</p>
<p>yea...you dont wanna call them before, say...FB, cuz when i first called my roomie, he didnt pick up and i left a message...its really awkward...</p>
<p>well I tried the UCLA directory and google, and their names arent there. Looks like I have no choice but to call them? Is is really that awkward to call them? I don't see what's wrong with it, but my roommates may certainly be thrown off?</p>
<p>It's not awkward. Sheesh.</p>
<p>Just do it.</p>
<p>why would they be throw off? they should be expecting a call or thinking of calling just like you are. if they think that they're just going to meet their roomies when they move in though that could be a problem</p>
<p>well, thats just my experience...but in the end, its all good</p>
