<p>a nightmare roommate? None of my friends are going to UF, and so I have no one to request as a roommate. I'm seriously afraid I'm going to get someone who tries to steal my things, leaves the room an absolute mess, etc.
I know I'm thinking in terms of worst-case scenario, but still. </p>
<p>Anything you're worried about this coming year at UF?</p>
<p>It’s always a concern for people, I was a little terrified about that myself when I was about to be a freshman. One you first move in they make you and your roommate go through and fill out a “roommate contract” which basically spells out what is and isn’t allowed (borrowing food, staying up all night, leaving the room a disaster). My roommate and I got along fine, but some people had to resort to contacting the RA if their roommate was significantly breaking the rules.</p>
<p>Most of my friends worst experiences are mostly they just never really talked to their roommates, I can only think of 1 or 2 people who had roommates they absolutely hated. Overall people were usually cool with their roommates, but not the best of buddies.</p>

<p>Zaersz: Oh that’s good to know, thanks! That will definitely help.</p>
<p>Dnerd: I’ll check that out, thanks.</p>
<p>Yeah, many of your roomies should be pretty considerate [if you’re a girl - girls are pretty cognizant of one another]. Now…if you’re a guy…weeeell. I can’t really vouch for that but I stayed in a dorm room with another girl for 2 weeks at a camp and it was 100% okay. Like Zaersz said, we were cool with one another but weren’t the best of friends.</p>
