<p>By imaginary, I mean my school listed my other 3 roommates, he found me on Facebook. </p>
<p>And he elaborates, for example, if I'm not down with too much females or partying o.o Well, I'm not down with that lol (unless it's not too much so that I can sleep) so what should I say without coming off self righteous?</p>
<p>you need to be honest with him. if you need your space when studying, he should be sensitive to that BUT you also need to be sensitive toward his desire to have an active social life as well. I'd suggest you tactfully let him know your concerns about that and that you develop a friendly understanding. ultimately, your room is for sleeping during the night and studying during the day (since pretty much everything else can happen easily elsewhere.... mostly), so make it clear to him that you need a place to sleep, but don't be an a** about it.</p>
<p>don't be a party pooper. Do your studying at the library, not the dorm where there are a million distractions.</p>
<p>So he shouldn't study in the dorm he's paying to live in in order to accomodate his roommates social life?-ok....</p>
<p>what's wrong with a library? it's usually a short walk away and it's very quiet and full of books. no roommate is going to accomodate your studying needs if you refuse to use the designated study area. last I checked there was no designated party area, cut the guy some slack.</p>
<p>It's impossible to study in the dorms anyways. Even if he's not partying, there's gonna be distractions, your friends coming and going, other rooms in your hall, the TV, phone calls, loud music etc etc. You can't control all of these factors to create the ultra-quiet environment in your dorm room, and if you try, you're going to become the token prick of the hall.</p>
<p>Like the OP said, if you want to study, go to the library.</p>
<p>^^^
Exactly. And just tell him as long as he doesn't wake you up 4am in the morning stumbling in the room drunk as hell with a girl and then proceeds to have sweaty loud rough sex next to you, you'll be fine. This is the only thing that would **** me off. Save that crap for 3am I say.</p>
<p>yah, just make sure to make some good deals...i.e., if there's a sexile situation, he's gotta pay you or something</p>
<p>hahaha some funny responses
you should probably try to work around each others schedules, like if you have a REALLY big test he should party elsewhere.
if it's just a minor assignment, maybe you could go to the library
but what the hell do i know i'm only a highschool sophomore >.<</p>
<p>Punkdude, that sounds vaguely illegal...</p>
<p>If you have ADD, studying in a library is impossible. It takes me almost an hour to read a page in a library when I can read half a book in the same time in my dorm.</p>
<p>You need to be honest with him from the first day. I was lucky in that my roommate felt the same as me that there was to be no drinking or partying in the room. I would have had to switch roommates if that had not been the case. </p>
<p>It's a bigger issue than just the noise. Random people walk in and out of parties and if you're not drinking, you shouldn't have to leave your room for your stuff to be trashed or stolen in order to be comfortable. There are more people who party at college than not, so it's much more considerate to move elsewhere than to be a douche and party in your room.</p>
<p>Saying it's impossible to study in a library is an extremely strange and slightly idiotic theory...please elaborate.</p>
<p>well, ariana, trust me it comes in handy to lay down the rules.</p>
<p>Hello, half these responses ignore the fact that I have to sleep!</p>
<p>I replied to him already, said "as long as I can sleep and you don't draw on my face" hope that works lol</p>
<p>dont make enemies with the guy before you even meet him in person.... just keep things cool for now and when/if problems arise deal with them. he could be exagerrating anything he says</p>
<p>lol punkdude is the funniest poster on CC. :)</p>
<p>^^^it was funnier b4 the man deleted it. but thanx!</p>
<p>I don't think its about studying in the dorms that he's worried about, but more of the sexiling, drinking, and puking that roommate might bring forth into the room. I think you should tell him u are not too into getting sexiled or anything of the sort. You are gonna be bothered by it at some point if you don't tell him now. It's not fair and I really would hate it if my roommate partied in my room as well.</p>
<p>Let him know where you stand on drinking and partying and such. Like, if you aren't a partier, then coming back from the library at midnight to find him and some friends drunk off their asses and throwing crap all over the room is going to bug you. Tell him there will be hell to pay if you get sexiled every single weekend. There may not be a designated party location, but frat houses are better able to fit everyone than dorm rooms. Besides, it's not just your roommate that you risk annoying. It's also your next-door, upstairs, and downstairs neighbors. Just go somewhere where there are only people who want to party, then party until you pass out.</p>
<p>I have a 4 room suite thing. 4 people all separate rooms, share kitchen/living room</p>
