<p>Hey I was looking over the Housing Application and I realized that you can "choose" a roommate. Hell, I am not going to lie, as I filled out the questionnaire I realized it is completely useless. The answers (which are NUMBERS) do not really do justice to me, or to anyone else for that matter. But rather than just whine about this, I actually want to try and find a roommate I like, because for the next year I am going to be living with that person!
So here goes nothing! So I am going to write a little bit about myself and what I am looking for in a roommate (this seems like one of those eharmoney commercials lol)</p>
<p>Mi nombre is Oscar, I hail from the land known as Los Angeles! I love a variety of music which ranges from Du Hast (by Rammstein) to Keep ya head up (2pac) to In the Wee hours (Junior Wells). I am actually a very open person, I do have a tendency to talk a lot. And honestly I do not want to come as weird or anything but I really want my roommate to be like a brother from another mother. Because I have already repeated, we are going to be living together man! I want to be able to talk to my roommate about anything and everything like I do now with my best friends.
So now you can either silently mock/judge me (or openly), or you can post your own little bio and what your looking for in a roommate because honestly I believe we as student should get a fair chance at picking someone we want not just a stranger who we might or might not get along with.</p>
<p>yay co-ed dorms!
jk</p>
<p>Hey! I’m from San Diego, so in the winter we will freeze our socalness together haha
I decided to let Cornell pick my roommate for me because honestly, you will really not know the person you are meeting over the Internet. I also think that the chance of me picking a creeper is about the same as Cornell picking one for me, so at least I can ***** at how Cornell gave me a crappy roommate rather than feeling blamed myself.
In the end, I just want someone who is chill with me coming in late, does not bother me too much, does not smell and respects my things, especially my food lol(yes some girls do get defensive about their food).</p>
<p>^ I’m from the LA region! We shall conquer the cold together! ._________.;;;;</p>
<p>And sorry oscarsan15, I already let Cornell pick mine.</p>
<p>Reading over my post, I can see where you are coming from. And its partly (hahaha more like entire) my fault. I do not want you or anyone to get the feeling that I believe Cornell will pick out a, as you put it a creeper. But to restate, and possibly clear up, my point: I strongly dislike Cornell’s way of allowing students to choose their roommate, I mean I totally respect you choice of letting Cornell pick your roommate, I however am not really fond of randomness. And I know for a fact that there are others like me, who would like to at least get the chance to search for a roommate. And the point to this post was for me to show my disapproval of the questionnaire Cornell provided because even you have to admit that was c***. And your right you don’t really get to know a person over the internet but providing a little bio about yourself is better than just picking a bubble.</p>
<p>Haha, I was just saying my opinion for picking roomates…I think it’s great that you want a roommate who is like a brother, but when you think about it I don’t think that having a best friend as a roommate is the best idea, because at least for me, I really need alone time…
I’m sure it’ll work out for the best, everything is only what you make it. 
Best of luck!!! I can’t wait to figure out where I live on Monday!</p>
<p>Well since I’m a girl, I can’t really be your roommate, but I’d like to ask something…</p>
<p>Do you guys know what it is we’ll find out on Monday? Like is it the building, the room, the roommate and everything, or is it just certain info?</p>
<p>I think it’s pretty much everything.</p>
