How to deal with an annoying and obnoxious roommate

So basically the story is last semester i had a different roommate but she transferred to a different college after last semester ended so I ended up getting a new roommate for this semester and I absolutely hate her.

She is very annoying and obnoxious. She sits in the room all day (Only leaving to eat or go to class) playing online games. She is very loud on the computer always yelling and screaming and making weird hand and body gestures while playing. She also often will be playing online with i guess some of her friends and she talks very loud the whole time whenever she does that. She also burps and clears her throat really loudly nonstop during the day and whenever she eats in the room she eats extremely loudly (I have literally never met somebody eat so loudly in my life). Her eating sounds like a couple making out as loud as possible and i can literally hear every bite she takes it’s disgusting. She also likes to go to bed at like 9pm every day and demands me to turn off the TV at that time too even tho i often have shows on at that time

I want to get a single room so badly. I literally can’t live with her for 13-14 more weeks she is a nightmare to live with. What do i do?

You wrote about the same issue in December. I’m confused. Was that the old or the new roommate?

  1. Go elsewhere during the day. You can study or relax at the library or any other lounge/study room on campus. If you’re out of the room, you won’t be annoyed by her habits.

  2. Can you watch your shows on your computer instead? Or on a TV in some common area? (My dorm has a rec room with a TV.) Yeah, 9 pm is an early bedtime, but it is also extremely annoying for someone to be making noise when you’re trying to sleep.

@inthegarden i already explained it in the question this is a new roommate i have this semester. My old one transferred to a different college

@DelcattyXD, I only asked because the issues described seemed so similar. Do you just have terrible luck, or is it possible that you are a wee bit over-sensitive? (Also, even if we get it “wrong” it would be nice of you to acknowledge that posters are trying to help when we respond to your post. Good social interactions are a two-way street.)

I suggest that you get noise-cancelling headphones. And, yes, as @bodangles says, watch shows on your computer after 9PM with earbuds as a compromise. Maybe you could have a tactful heart-to-heart. Ask your roommate to tell you the couple of worst things about you that annoy her (so you can work on it) in exchange for you letting her know a couple of things she does that you’d like her to work on. Alternately, try very hard to make friends with someone you think you could tolerate as a roommate and try to switch. Study very, very hard and be successful at whatever you do so that you can always afford to live alone after college because I have a feeling you may need it!

Get a single.

It sounds as though it might be worth the cost to get a single.

Noise canceling head phones.

ALso ask her to keep it down when on the computer.
Use the headphones to watch tv.
