<p>Wouldn't the fact that we're going to be living together for a year constitute immediate friendship?</p>
<p>I would want somebody to ask me beforehand if it’s okay to add me (not that I use FB), but for the brief period that I actually had a Facebook, I thought it was a little creepy when someone tries to add me; whether they know me or not without asking first.</p>
<p>Just ask her/him about it. Maybe it was a mistake, or s/he has pictures s/he doesn’t want you seeing.</p>
<p>No…it’s definitely weird to deny your future roommate on Facebook. And it was completely normal to request the friendship without “asking beforehand.”</p>
<p>Have fun next year…your roomie seems like a character…</p>
<p>Yeah…that’s kind of weird. Did you mention in a message something about being roommates? When I friended my future roommates I added something like, it looks like we’re going to be roommates next year or something like that. Pretty much everyone I know friended their future roommates on facebook.</p>
<p>Sorry, I think it’s weird and not “completely normal.”</p>
<p>Yeah I thought it was weird. Maybe it’s Lakrosse…</p>
<p>That was awful.</p>
<p>Sounds more like PMVD. He’s mad at you for making fun of him in class.</p>
<p>PMVD? I don’t get it. I just added that second part to break the 10 character barrier.</p>
<p>When I lived on campus I always became friends with future roommates, and also got requests from future roommates if they got around to it first. I think it’s totally normal.</p>
<p>I always included a “hey, looks like we’re roommates next semester” kind of note. Anyway, it is kind of strange that they’d deny it… maybe they didn’t realize who you were?</p>
<p>Owned.</p>

<p>Don’t people have some right to privacy? I know boyfriends and girlfriends who don’t friend each other because they want to have their own little space on cyberspace.</p>
<p>Not weird. Some people only have people on Facebook they actually know. I’d deny you too if you immediately friended me. It seems like you want to get your friend count up rather than wait to see and get to know your roommate.</p>
<p>^^haha do people even care about there friend count?</p>
<p>Wow, I would easily add my future roommate on facebook ( if I ever get one). I think it was odd, and unexpected. It would also be better to communicate with your roommate about roommate material etc… ( like my sibling did).</p>
<p>@visionquest09</p>
<p>Yeah, you’d be surprised at the lengths some people go through to maintain their friend count, i.e. the kids who add every single person in their class. Weirdos.</p>
<p>Personally, everyone on my Facebook I know and have met, talked to, hung out with, etc. Only because I’m not trying to inadvertently add an employer or something lol.</p>
<p>Maybe they don’t appreciate your academic intelligence? Or are you short in stature or something, and they’re discriminating against you?</p>
<p>Either way, I would highly considering not attending this school</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Er, more like they want to get to know their roommate a little bit and chat a little before they live in very close quarters for a year?</p>
<p>Phones? Email? Song gram? Is Facebook and Twitter the only means of communication now?</p>
<p>Yeah, when did e-mail go the way of snail mail?</p>
