<p>I haven't spoken to my roommate for like 3 months?</p>
<p>I didn’t speak to my roommate for like two to three months, other than like “do you care if I turn the light off?”</p>
<p>However, she was a freak who tried to commit suicide and had a ridiculously stupid, manipulative boyfriend who she would Skype at three in the morning.</p>
<p>I just changed rooms, not just because of her but for a lot of reasons, and it will be lovely to go back. I do have a new roommate but I’m just happy knowing I’ll never have to hear that stupid guy’s voice cursing me out again.</p>
<p>only if you think it is… it’s odd… I talk to your roomate at least once a week</p>
<p>I haven’t talked to three of my four roommates since move in day.</p>
<p>I actually just walked in from work and they were watching tv and I walked by them all silent to go into my room and it was really awkward.</p>
<p>
It is not a good environment, how could you manage to sleep and share the same room with someone for an entire academic year and know so little about them… it would just seem too strange. Ofcourse you and your roommate are likely not meant to be sharing space or even friends, but you should know them to a extent.</p>
<p>I didn’t really talk to my roommate either. We will be rooming again this semester and I hope it goes well.</p>
<p>I do wish I would have had a more extroverted roommate though.</p>
<p>it’s sad that your feeling conflicted about not talking to him.</p>
<p>I didn’t talk to my roommate much either, and overall sharing space wasn’t the best experience. I didn’t like the ideal of sharing space etc… with my roommate because I didn’t know exactly who this person was. Other than that everyone on my floor was really awsome but with a unknown roommate I left. My biggest draw for leaving my old dorm was that my new place has all the amenities that I would like ( kitchen and bathroom). Though my old hall I was on a living learning community where I knew everyone and was active.
If possible maybe other people you know are looking for a roommate. The same day I committed to my new hall for the spring I got a call from another person I know who asked me about moving into their dorm (same hall) but didn’t. The sad part is that I wouldn’t room with that person again for even 100k ( just to give an ideal).
In a nut shell I know many people who would like to move out their dorm but didn’t, past and prescent. I also hear all about these roommate horror stories and just never thought in a million years it would have happen to me.</p>
<p>I don’t talk to my roommate much. We hung out for a little while in the beginning of the year, but we never clicked as good friends. We like each other well enough, though, and don’t have any problems rooming together. Sometimes it even works out better this way.</p>
<p>It’s sad, but not uncommon, judging by all these comments. My roommate from last year and I barely talked at all except to say “Hi” or “Bye” when someone entered or left the room, and sometimes to ask “Do you mind if I turn out the light?” I was disappointed that we weren’t friends, but at least we didn’t hate each other or anything; we just never clicked.</p>
<p>enfield, I’m not really conflicted, more or less just curious if it was common or not. I mean, I don’t really want to be super duper good friends with my roommate, getting along and like talking once in a while would be nice, but the only time I go to my room, other than for sleep, is when I want to get away from people and be alone. So, since I don’t talk to him, it makes that quite easy. Then again, neither of us are really there other than for sleeping most of the time, so it’s not like we sit there quiet for hours on end every day.</p>
<p>My roommate doesn’t sleep in our room. We talk maybe once or twice a week, and then it’s just “hi” or “bye”… I really know very little about the guy besides his name, we’re not even friends on FB, we don’t have each other’s phone numbers, etc, etc. o_O</p>
<p>^That’s kind of weird. I feel like you guys might want to at least trade phone numbers at some point. What if you get locked out?</p>
