<p>School has yet to start, but most of us have been assigned roommates and have more than likely gotten to know them a bit on Facebook.</p>
<p>Based off the small impression you've had, how do you like them so far? Did you get lucky or unlucky?</p>
<p>This thread doesn’t apply to me, but I wouldn’t say your view of whether or not you got lucky or unlucky is accurate… or won’t change. I had the worst impression and thought I was in for a year of hell but I got the best roommate I never would’ve dreamed of.</p>
<p>I feel lucky, both of mine seem very nice. And judging by their pics, they also seem quite silly and fun. We all share similar but not identical tastes in movies, though one’s music taste seems somewhat questionable. Doesn’t look like there will be any political or religious conflicts.</p>
<p>First one was a more social person than me, but he requested that I swap so that he could be with a friend he met at orientation, so I don’t know who my roommate is gonna be until this upcoming week.</p>
<p>Mine seems like a serious ******bag so far, but what can I say…</p>
<p>My rooommate seems nice enough. She messaged me a couple of days ago telling me that we should introduce ourselves and start getting to know more about each other, and I told her a bit about me but she’s yet to respond even though she’s been on Facebook since then. I can’t help but be a teeny bit disconcerted. </p>
<p>She’s a huge partier too from the looks of it, but I’m in one of the more social dorms on campus so that’s to be expected. </p>
<p>I honestly don’t know if we’re going to get along… hoping for the best.</p>
<p>Just like looking into a mirror… Which will be an interesting experience.</p>
<p>I’m living at home this year, but last year I got to talk to my roommate on Facebook before moving in…and let me tell you, you can’t really judge someone off of their Facebook page.</p>
<p>I thought my roommate was going to be edgy, cool, funny, have good taste in music, be a little wacky, sarcastic, fun etc. based off of her Facebook pictures and page. I mean she had a cool haircut and she looked the part, so I was excited to get to know her.</p>
<p>I was completely wrong. My roommate was anti-social, whiny, completely hung up over marrying her marine boyfriend all semester. All she did was complain, cry on the phone about wanting to have a baby, spend all day trying to plan a wedding and buy herself an engagement ring…and whine to me about how her parents don’t understand her. </p>
<p>I literally could not have a conversation with her that did not revolve around her boyfriend, her wedding, how all her friends are pregnant except her, blah blah blah. I thought she was going to be an independent, cool, kind of alternative type of person…someone I’d get along with, but instead she was the most boring, vapid person I’d ever met. All she wanted to be was a pregnant house wife. So she eventually left school the week before finals to go marry her boyfriend before he was deployed. </p>

<p>Usually, humans do not interact with anteaters well.</p>
<p>I found out my roommate assignment earlier and unfortunately she doesn’t have FB. But she showed up on Google in articles and whatnot. From what I can see, she seems like a determined person, athletic, and very pretty. I’m hoping for the best here as she didn’t allow the school to give an email, #, etc. I hope she contacts me though, I gave out my email AND #.</p>
<p>My roommate seems very nice. She asked my opinion on everything to do with the room. She also seems very bubbly and excited which is cool too and she already asked me to visit her family over thanksgiving since I’m international.</p>
<p>My roommate seems pretty awesome. She likes comedy, she’s kinda quirky, and we have a lot of the same interests. </p>
<p>We were able to pretty evenly split the major appliances and electronics in the room that we each would bring without much problem. </p>
<p>We keep in contact. I talk to her almost everyday through texts, facebook, or skype. We’ve had fun discussions about my photo collection, the outlet malls near campus, and our dorm (among other things). </p>
<p>She seems like a fun, interesting, academically motivated person who wants to do well in college and have fun in college at the same time.</p>
<p>I can’t wait to meet her in person. =)</p>
<p>i have talked to my roommate a ton yet. i did a decent amount the first time i talked to him after i found out. he seems kinda goofy, but in a good way and i think we can be friends. he does like the best music, but he likes some music i like and nothing i rly hate.
i’m in a suite so i have 3 more suitemates. i’ve actually talked to one of my suitemates more than my roommate and he seems nice. not to be mean, but i got the impression that he probably got in cause he is an athlete. i think we can be decent friends. the other one is from china i think and i havent gotten to talk to him yet
well i got unlucky and i guess i have an RA in my suite. my suitemate said he seemed kinda cool, but i sent him and inbox and i dont know. it seemed kinda formal. like he was more of a representative of the school than someone i’ll be living with or a friend. does anyone else have experience with having a RA in a suite or a similar situation.</p>
<p>I saw mine in the mirror this morning. He had a few nose hairs sticking out but nothing the tweezers could not fix.</p>
<p>My roommate is the polar opposite of me. I would elaborate but it would myriad of political incorrectness. Definitely, not someone who I envision myself hanging out with let alone living with.</p>
<p>I got my roommates not so long ago. We have yet to talk extensively, but from the looks of their FB: one likes to party, the other I have no opinion on. I think we’ll do alright. I most likely won’t be in my room much anyways.</p>
<p>My three roommates and I all stayed in our dorm during the 3 days of orientation, and we got along great, and had a ton of fun. Two environmental science majors/best friends in one room, and then in the room across our living room, I’m rooming with a fellow wildlife biology major from the Bay Area.</p>
<p>My impressions thus far:</p>
<p>Roommate #1: Really friendly guy, pretty smart, sort of punk rock-ish in his interests and style. We probably have the most differenences out of the four of us, but we still got along great.
Roommate #2: We got along great too. He comes off as a sort of solemn, studious Asian fellow at first, but is actually a hilarious and fun to be around sort of dude, he just takes time to open up.
Roommate #3: Only way to describe him is “epically chill”. I’m glad I’m rooming with him, there will probably never be an issue between the two of us. We have a ton of the same interests, and I’ve met his girlfriend as well (she’s going to our college too) and she’s just as laid back and friendly as he is, and her visits won’t be annoying.</p>
<p>All in all, it’s an awesome roommate situation.</p>
<p>I’m in a single, but it’s a single in a suite so I could comment on my suitemates :)</p>
<p>One of them is a partier based on his pictures and I’m not sure how well I’ll get along with him. One of them looks super, super nice. The last guy I couldn’t find on Facebook - he’s from the UK though, which is cool. The weird thing is I don’t think any of us have really been in contact yet … I left a post on the nice guy’s wall and he replied once but not after that :P</p>
