<p>So ive been reading the worst roomate thread adn wanted to hear about those who have good roomates... things like</p>
<p>what makes them a good roomate, things that you really like in a roomate, etc.</p>
<p>my suggestion is to be really friendly from the get-go. i had a really good impression of my roommate from the beginning, the day i met her she was very nice and outgoing. it usually sets things off well! i also suggest contacting your roommate ahead of time - phone, email, facebook, whatever - and getting to know him/her before school starts. my roommate and i emailed a lot during the summer, not really about the practical things (who brings what) but about random bits and pieces of our lives and stuff.</p>
<p>i ended up being really close with my roommate, we fell in w/the same group of friends on our hall, so that was really good. we had similar sleeping patterns and such (extreme night owls), so that made things easier. besides that, we just had fun - lots of late-night talking and laughing and stuff like that!</p>
<p>I am really hoping that my roommate in the fall will be a good roommate. She's a not-super-close friend of mine I met in a class in the fall, but she's really nice and we're sort of alike (both like staying up really late, etc). She knows some of my friends already, and we both wear the same shoe size, haha (we both have big feet for girls). I think we'll really get along as roommates.</p>
<p>Ehh, I can accept sharing clothes... but sharing shoes? That's kinda gross if you ask me. I dunno I just have a thing about feet. Unless, yall put gold bond before yall wear heals...</p>
<p>My roommate last year was awesome. I thought we wouldn't get along at all because we were so different, but we became excellent roommate-friends. By that, I mean we were great friends in the room, but we didn't hang out that much outside of it. We rarely ate together in the caf (but would eat pizza and poped corn and all sorts of random concoctions in the room), and never went to parties together. We didn't have the same friends, but I got along well with hers, and she got along well with mine. We were both equally modest (ie, no running around the room butt naked like some of my friends have had their roomies do). We slept on different schedules, but it worked out (she woke up early--I slept through her alarm, I stayed up late and I went into the lounge). We'd have like, 3 hour long conversations at night about anything and everything. We both confided in eachother. It worked out really well. She's now transfering (like I wish I had been brave enough to do), so I'm going to have a new roomie, who I think will either reallly work out with or really not. We were decent friends (ie, would go eat meals together if we had no one else, went to several events and that type of stuff), and we both needed roomies so we joined up. We've had some issues with our room so we've talked more and become better friends over the summer, so I think it will be good.</p>
<p>But if I could have my old roomie again I would say yes in a flash, and I really did not expect that.</p>
<p>Well, I wouldn't put on her shoes right after she took them off. That's gross. But if they aired out for a couple hours, then whatever.</p>
<p>And eww, why would you run around butt naked in front of someone you barely know?? I would not mind being in my underwear around my roommate, but I wouldn't just like sit around in it. I mean, we would change into pajamas around each other and stuff, but to go around completely naked? w t f?</p>
<p>omg seriously. my best friend's roommate would walk around topless, and ask my friend what she thought of her boobs/hug her topless/jump on her/pull her shirt up to "see what she's got"...... yeah reallllly weird. My other best friend had her roomie's walk around totally naked (two of them). I don't know what the heck was wrong with them, but I consider myself lucky to not have that.</p>
<p>I don't think I would hesitate to be like, "you crazy b.tch put some clothes on" if my roommate did that. I mean, it's one thing to change your clothes in front of one another (even taking a bra off is okay... just turn around!! panties should stay on at all times unless you're in the bathroom or hidden by a dresser or something) but to just wander around naked... that's so weird! And a little creepy. I mean, I don't even compare tits with my really close friends (well, not TOPLESS, anyway. with clothes on, sure).</p>
<p>What's the big deal about nudity?</p>
<p>^I am more than willing to sacrifice myself in case you girls need someone to inspect your roommates boobs...someone has to do it</p>
<p>Yea, our society needs to accept nudity more. jeez we are scared of seeing the natural bodies of others....</p>
<p>I'm gonna guess you all are guys. how would you feel if YOUR roomie walked around with his dong swinging round, walked up to you, hugged you, asked to see yours? yeah. . .</p>
<p>You don't just randomly walk up to someone half naked and hug them. I agree with equine, how would you GUYS feel if your male roommate was like, "hey, dude, wanna compare lengths?" Just because it's naked females we're talking about, you guys always gotta start acting like it's the most impressive thing in the world. Omg, they're tits, GET OVER IT.</p>
<p>i luv tits</p>
<p>amen to that brotha</p>
<p>^halleluya</p>
<p>Yea, of course I would be uncomfortable comparing lengths</p>
<p>That is our problem though. If we were more accepting, then "length" wouldn't be as important because it would be in the open for everyone. There is no reason to compare lengths if everyone walked around like that....</p>
<p>"Just because it's naked females we're talking about, you guys always gotta start acting like it's the most impressive thing in the world. Omg, they're tits, GET OVER IT."</p>
<p>What? This is very one-sided, don't you think? Of course guys think naked girls are great. Girls think naked guys are great, too. You can't deny that.</p>
<p>Um, perhaps, but I, for one, would NOT be very happy if guys walked around naked all the time...and I know a lot of girls who would agree with me.</p>
<p>I dunno, I really don't know how comfortable I would be with some naked dude just walking up to me and hugging me. I think I'd be kinda weirded out too.</p>
<p>And if everyone walked around naked, I'm sure we would have bigger worries. . . like frost bite.</p>
<p>especially people that have sensitive skin </p>
