<p>so i called both my roomies, and they seem pretty cool. when i called my second roomie i talked to the mom first and she was so nice! she's like "you're gunna lover my daughter! she's also a very hard worker! etc etc" haha</p>
<p>you can't really tell a lot or anything from just a phone call, but i'm facebook friends with one of them and the other one told me she will friend request me (she still hasn't). i guess i'm happy with everything so far but we'll see how it goes when we actually live together :)</p>
<p>I don't think the people who you'll spend the next year of your life with should be "surprises" lol. I think it's better to get to know them before you actually meet (that way you'll sorta remove any stereotypes that people sometimes make when they first see someone before getting to know them)</p>
<p>How very exciting! In any case, my first impressions of my roommates (from email, phone) were quite different from what I actually experienced in person. Facebook was the most accurate indicator. . .</p>
<p>They release whatever number you put down. My friend put down his cell number, and that's where his roommate called him.</p>
<p>I just called my roommate today, and her mom actually called back and started speaking in Vietnamese, asking if someone had called their number. We ended up talking, and my roommate thanked me for calling because she was so scared to call me! That being said, I think everyone should take the initiative to call if they have not yet.</p>
<p>Oh my god, I called my roommates yesterday...</p>
<p>My first roommate's mother answered, sounded particularly unenthusiastic, and told me her daughter would call back. She hasn't.</p>
<p>My second roommate's phone went directly to voice mail each time I called, and the message was one of those automated voice messages that didn't even include a name.</p>
<p>What's there to be worried about...? Just wait it out for a few more days or even a week. Then, I think it would be more reasonable to talk to them about coordinating who brings the TV, etc.</p>

<p>LOL. what else is she gonna say, "my daughter is a demon from hell!" Probably most ppl who got into UCLA were hard workers. I think it's hard to tell what they're truly like until you live with them for 9 months though.</p>
<p>But congrats, I wish you the best....and hopefully your room is the one rockin and rollin come sept. :)</p>
<p>how do you get information like their phone number!? I only know their names but would i get more information on my roomate after i confirm my move in date and all that??</p>
