<p>I have been accepted into Indiana University and want to apply for housing as soon as possible but am waiting to see if I can find a roomate so I dont get stuck with someone I dont get along with. I am female from MA, have an undecided major, want to have fun and party but put academics first... and know noone that is going to IU, if anyone else is looking please reply? Are there any other ways I can look for roomates?
Thanks!</p>
<p>There is a Facebook page where you might be able to connect with someone else who is looking for a roommate.</p>

<p>Look at the 2015 group, not the 2014 group, as the class of 2014 (like myself) are already freshman, and most sophomores don’t live in dorms.</p>
<p>woops, sorry!</p>
<p>yeah, the 2015 page on facebook will definitely help you out!</p>
<p>FieldHockey21 just relax about going pot-luck, I know it can be very scary rooming with someone you don’t know but more often then not it is a very good experience. In my opinion, how good your floor is, not your roommate, has much greater impact on how your year goes. Browse all the different communities and floor types and see if any of them interest you, if you find one apply for it!</p>
<p>Unfortunately you won’t know if you get along with your roommate until you actually live with him/her. My daughter is a freshman at another Big 10 U and is rooming with a girl who she knew from a neighboring town. They both thought that they were so much alike and that they would get along great. Sadly, they are polar opposites. Roomie sleeps all day, misses classes, is beyond sloppy (leaves milk and cereal in bowls for days so room smells horrible) and my daughter ends up cleaning up the room so that they don’t attract bugs or worse. </p>
<p>After three months of asking her roommate to clean up her side of the room, getting yelled at for turning the lights on to study in the middle of the afternoon (roommate was sleeping), and meetings with the RA, daughter is switching rooms for second semester. </p>
<p>Moral of the story, you really don’t know someone until you live in a tiny space with them. My advice to you is to be totally honest when you start talking to potential roommates and ask them to be the same. Good luck!</p>
