I Need A Roommate For Next Year

<p>Instead of letting UCLA randomly choose me another cruddy roommate, I want to know if there is any way I can find a roommate who is not bi-polar and passive aggressive for next year. I don't want to room with friends because I don't want that to lead in a situation where we'll "de-friend" each other but I really don't want to check off some boxes and get a roommate that is not remotely close to the ones the qualities that I've checked off. I know what you put on your housing application for next year does not matter in terms of who you want to room with but I'm just wondering in advance. </p>

<p>How do I come about finding one that is sane?</p>

<p>Help.</p>

<p>once the room sign up process starts up, you can look at rooms that are partially filled. it will tell you the name and i think the habits (ie clean/messy, early/late sleeper etc"). then go on facebook or myspace and try to find the person. and try to judge from there. or go one step further and IM/email/message them and have a little chat.</p>

<p>i know its kinda creepy and stalkerish, but hey. its your quality of life on the line. i'm sure they dont want an insane roommate for next year either.</p>

<p>if you pick an empty room, then you just have to pray some weirdo doesnt pick your room too. :eek:</p>

<p>OR.....
look for friends of friends, or floor mates, or friends' floor mates, or class mates, or lab partners, or whatever and see if you can find someone that way.</p>

<p>i've had bad luck with roommates my two years. well last year's was alright compared to this year's. this guy is messier than a pig wallowing in mud. and hes a poly sci major trying for law school...and im sure you know how opinionated/talkative/annoying lawyers can be. he keeps ranting off about game theory and prisoner's dilemma and im like I DONT CARE THATS WHY IM A SCIENCE MAJOR. :mad:</p>

<p>sorry about my tiny rant there. lol...:D</p>

Then all you have to do is propose a Nash equilibrium with your roommate. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>VTECaddict, I really did not know you could do that. That is so awesome! And I don't care if I'm a quasi-stalker or not, give me a roommate that isn't PMS'ing 24/7 for goodness sakes.</p>

<p>I feel sorry for you VTECaddict. Seriously, some people should just shut up and clean up.</p>

<p>It's not called dorming together, but just "staying overnight". That can happen a lot .. that's why there's a roomate contract!</p>

<p>If you violate the roomate contract, then .. it's up to the people in your room to resolve the issue. Otherwise, the RA is the mediator.</p>

<p>o i c im guessing its just bathrooms at the end of hte hall</p>

15

<p>So what are the chances of me, a sophomore next year, receiving a single room in a hall? Pretty slim :( ?</p>

<p>And what is the chance of Sproul opening next year?</p>

16

<p>How did you get into the Business Economics with Accounting Minor program as a freshman? Did you come in with sophomore standing and somehow take Econ 11/101 already? :rolleyes:</p>

17

<p>Oh, I guess I should have wrote Pre-Business Economics Major and Intended Accounting Minor. Sorry for the confusion.</p>

Depends on your priority.</p>

<p>I'd room with you, mnucla, if I didn't have a roommate already... your description sounds just about identical to mine! Major (plus intended minor) too...</p>
