Good roommates vs. bad roommates?

<p>I'm going to share a dorm with a roommate for the first time, and I just wanted to know who gets along with their roommates and who doesn't. I just want to see if more people hate or love their roomies haha. I hope I can coexist with mine :)</p>

<p>My roommate last semester was great. Really cool guy.</p>

<p>Also are you a guy or a girl? Most girls I knew hated their roommates, while most guys really didn’t care.</p>

<p>My roommate was awesome. We used to go out late at night for frozen yogurt and falafel, do our laundry together sometimes, and listen to music.
I LOVED having a roommate.</p>

<p>I am going to have a roommate for the first time next year as well :slight_smile: I am planning on following the golden rule (okay… that sounds cheesy!) but I think that is the best way to have a great relationship with your roomie. I have quirks, so I’m just expecting to have to deal with my roomies quirks as well! I am also fairly easy going and I think that should help! </p>

<p>I hope you have a great time with your roommate next year!</p>

<p>It was okay. My first-year roommates were good people, but hard to live with. They were both very nice, but neither of them were very friendly to other people. I thought I was messy - until I met them. Our room was literally disgusting at times. To top it off, one of my roommates ate all of my food, even after I politely asked her not to go itno my food before I’d even opened it. It wasn’t all bad - we just didn’t click. I think we’ll be better friends when we’re not living together.</p>

<p>However, I’m really excited to live with my new roommates next year! Hopefully things will be great.</p>

<p>I had two roommates my freshman year. One is one of my best friends! And the other was okay haha. She wasn’t bad, but we she wasn’t great. For the most part, she was still respectful of us.</p>

<p>I’m a guy and an upcoming freshman. I don’t know whether I should choose a roommate or go random. I have a HS friend who I’m not THAT close with. We’re acquaintances and we get along well. But random seems much more fun and adventurous!
If I go random I don’t want to get some lazy bum or rude guy…</p>

<p>@yakyu spirits- I’m a girl, I just hope my roommate doesn’t steal! lol. But I will have to wait and see. I’m hoping if I show some respect then she would have respect as well :)</p>

<p>I’ll be sharing a room for the first time this fall too! I hope I get a roommate that I can deal with.</p>

<p>I had two different roommates. I didn’t like either of them. One went out and didn’t care about drugs or anything which was nice (she could roll a killer joint too) but she was obsessed with her annoying boyfriend who she would Skype every single night and it was ridiculous. At the beginning of the year we were friends but by midyear I wanted to kill her.</p>

<p>Second roommate was an Asian who did nothing but study and freaked out when she found out I drank. Never spoke to her. I had nothing to say.</p>

<p>I really did not like my roommate last year. At the beginning of the year (about 2 weeks) we hung out, but from then on we really didn’t talk, which made an awkward living environment. Didn’t say hi or anything. Though he did respect my stuff as I did with his, and was never much of a nuisance. So he wasn’t a bad roommate, but it was just not a preferable living situation.</p>

<p>Next year I am rooming with people I know, so I am looking forward to it.</p>

<p>I’ve had three roommates. My freshman year roommate was nice but she became an RA. My second roommate was a horrible human being. My third roommate was a freshman transfer and a little too young for me to have become friends with her, but she was nice enough. I’m hoping for a decent roommate next year, now that I’ve finally gotten to pick my own.</p>

<p>My sister’s roommate never bought toilet paper, so my sister started locking hers in her room (they shared a bathroom and common area, separate rooms) and only bringing it out when she was using the bathroom. . .and the roommate still didn’t buy any! We hoped she was doing the same thing, but it didn’t seem likely. We were disgusted.</p>
