<p>HI. Here's a thread to search for your potential other half...of your dorm room. The UCSB Roommate Questionnaire pales in comparison to the expectation I had so I'm taking matters into my own hands. I want to make the best of my freshman year by finding a roommate I will get along with! If you're in the same boat, leave your responses to the following categories in a reply below! I encourage you to make a profile below because you never know, you could end up finding a best friend.</p>

What do I want from a roommate?
I’m hoping to be great friends with my roommate. I would try to make our relationship strong enough that we can talk openly and rely on each other when needed. </p>
<p>Private message me if you think we’d be a good match!</p>
<p>Omg with you’re like me exactly!
I agreed with everything on your profile except for the whole toothpaste cap thing (totally random lol!)
too bad I’m living in Tropicana
have you considered Tropicana del Norte?</p>
<p>Really? That’s so cool! Aww, I’m set on living on a substance-free floor. But, maybe we can have a lovesick movie marathon in the Tropicana Theater! I’m Sally, by the way.</p>
<p>How does Topicana pricing compare to residence hall pricing? I passed by some of the units during Spring Insight and wasn’t too impressed after seeing Santa Catalina…</p>
<p>i agree
living on a substance free floor is really important, especially from what i’ve heard of sb, that’s why I opted for Tropicana’s substance free option 
I’m Deborah!

<p>What?! Tropicana’s substance free option? Hmm, Tropicana now seems so much more enticing than Santa Catalina & the 15 min bike ride that comes with it…Nice to meet you, Deborah!</p>
<p>actually i just double checked and tropicana doesn’t offer a strictly substance free option per say BUT you do fill out a questionnaire which they use to find you suite mates
one of the questions is “do you choose to live a substance free lifestyle” and do you drink, smoke etc.
They try to match you with people like you so I’d assume (fingers crossed) that since I put I’m substance free, my roommates will be also
and nice to meet you too Sally! If my judgment is correct, i’d say you sound like an English major?</p>
<p>Haha, you’re judgement is off this time, but it sure is flattering! I don’t have the balls or the Old English tolerance to be an English major. I’m studying pre-Psych right now. What made you decide on Tropicana Del Norte? Ever worry that you’d be missing out on the “Freshman” environment? I think that’s my main concern at the moment.</p>
<p>Well I’m feeling pretty ballsy right now because I intend to major in English!
Uhm yea I was definitely worried about missing out by living in Tropicana until I heard reviews from people who’ve actually lived there. Tropicana has tons of great events that campus dorms don’t have and from what I’ve gathered that gives Trop a community like feel. Then I actually visited Trop at Spring Insight and the rooms are soo much nicer and bigger than dorms
Anther big thing was the lack of community bathrooms
the thought of sharing a bathroom with like 75 people makes me shudder inside lol</p>
<p>Yeah, the bathroom situation…is not appealing, to say the least. That’s why I’m interested in San Cat and as of recently, Tropicana. I’m probably going to visit this weekend before I make a decision. Hey, are you a part of the FB group posted above?</p>
<p>nope i made a Facebook a few months ago but i had to deactivate it recently for now because a lazy senior+new Facebook user=big distraction lol<br>
but I’ll private message you my email (I know archaic technology) so we can stop flooding this post :)</p>
