<p>My roommate threatened to kill me in my sleep for no reason. Consider yourself 'Lucky'</p>
<p>Talk to your school residential life or housing department or whatever.</p>
<p>The guy sounds like an *******.</p>
<p>i got confused by the title too haha
yeah go talk to the housing and bring proof
i wonder how he got accepted to ur school neways...</p>
<p>Sounds bad. Check into your school's policies about moving to new dorm rooms. Maybe email the school simply saying that from the contact you've had with your future roomie you're concerned about compatibility and his lack of respect for you, and though you're willing to try it out, you'd like to know what the process would be like/if it's possible to change a few weeks in.</p>
<p>I second Lumine's suggestion. Email your school's reslife office and express your concern about you and your room mate's respect and compatibility issues based on first contact. Copying and pasting the facebook conversation is a definite must. Frankly, the way this guy is talking to you is disconcerting and worrisome, and worth the attention from your school's res life office.</p>
<p>But do this quickly, as the possibility for room mate changes is quite limited. The fact that you are merely trying to talk to this person and establish a healthy room mate relation ship while being met with such hostility isn't good at all, and should be brought up with reslife.</p>
<p>he must have no soul.
pray to jesus.</p>
<p>AHAHAHA The title of this thread is seriously crackin me up! I've never heard of someone scared of satin. It's typically considered one of the finer fabrics.</p>
<p>I opened this thread wondering if you were going to complain about his purple smoking jacket.</p>
<p>But anyway, I'd hold off on doing anything until you meet him in person, and go into that with as open a mind as possible. It's possible that this is a persona he likes to project and that he's actually quite nice. It's also possible that he's someone you wouldn't choose to spend time with if you weren't asisgned to be roommates, but that the two of you can coexist without problems. It's even possible that he is expecting his roommate not to like him, because he isn't someone who is appreciated by that many people, and that he's trying to be unlikable now so that it's a weird persona you're rejecting and not really him.</p>
<p>None of my roommates was someone I'd have chosen to be friends with. #1 and #3 tried, and I give them credit for that because I was a very different person than either of them, but it wasn't ever going to work. #2 is someone I might have liked a lot if we'd met a few years later, but at the time I was much too immature for us to be friends. It worked out in all cases, though.</p>
<p>And given that peer pressure is a big factor in a lot of stupid decisions college students make (and I do realize that it's also a factor in a lot of good decisions), it may be a really good thing for you to have a roommate who has withstood peer pressure as well as he has.</p>
<p>If it turns out that you can't cope with him, you can talk to the RA. You may want to save his texts and so on in case you need evidence of your incompatibility. But I doubt they're going to switch you on the basis of some text messages and a scary Facebook profile, so as long as you're going to have to give it a try I would urge you to do your best to really give it a try.</p>
<p>Buy your Satin some satan sheets.</p>
<p>I mean, uh.. well, you get it.</p>
<p>The only way to pacify a pimp is to recognize his pimpin'-ness.</p>
<p>Just try living with him a couple of weeks, if it still looks like Satan (god forbid he trolls CC and discovers who you are. LOL) is some deranged maniac with hellish girlfriend to boot, apply for housing transfer immediately, the sooner the better as students are still getting settled. I used to think my roommates were pretty hellish too, we only started warming up to each other in the last few months!</p>
<p>Try finding another kid whose roomate is Bush and swap! lol</p>
<p>If you were my son, I'd advise you to write him again, ignoring all the nastiness of the first response. Act like it never happened.</p>
<p>Instead: Ask him some normal straightforward roommate type questions, such as: do you want to rent a refrigerator together? I'm bringing a toolkit so you don't have to...what do you want to bring for the room? just mild stuff like that. (Others can give you better normal questions than I just suggested, but you get the idea.)</p>
<p>If he writes back to slam you again, then you can show 4 correspondences to Reslife. It'd be clear then he's not even trying to work the normal stuff out.</p>
<p>Or even ask him by email if the two of you should both approach reslife saying we're already fighting before we move in; can you save us some grief and reassign us both before Day One?</p>
<p>Keep copies of what you write and what comes in, of course.</p>
<p>Good lord, change roommates (no pun intended). Why would you want to room with a psychopath who has long red hair anyways? By the way, the "satin" jokes are really lame after the first one. You should be able to go to the uni and explain your situation.. nobody in their right mind would be able to turn down your request for a new roommate. There is a possibilty that maybe one of his friends got on his account and is messing with him. because that just doesn't seem like anyone would do that.</p>

if the op were to say that, and they end up still living together, it wouldn't end well. IMO</p>
<p>I go to Madison also and know someone who had a situation similar to yours. Her roommate's profile looked weird on Facebook (default pic with swords in front of her face, weird interests etc.) Then she looked her up on myspace and saw that she listed Hitler as her idol and that she had lots of stuff about death, devil worship etc. Her mom called the res life office and explained the situation (I think she might have even said that her daughter was Jewish even though she isn't) and they switched her pretty fast before the school year even started. I wouldn't wait till you move in as this sounds pretty bad already and probably won't get much better once you start living with the dude. You have enough to worry about starting freshman year without having to switch rooms/roommates after you get there. Just call the res life office and see what they can do. Good luck! What dorm are you in?</p>
<p>OP -- On your other post of similar topic, you posted at 10 p.m. tonight that you had just spoken by phone. How do you size up the situation now that you've talked? Feeling worse, the same, better?</p>
<p>Paying3Tuitions, it wasn't a phone conversation today. It was facebook. </p>
<p>He pretty much told me that the only reason he's going to Madison is because of some bar called "Brothers," and that academics aren't his thing. (That's odd since you need decent grades to get into that school.)</p>
<p>Then he said that he's coming with a girlfriend, and she's going to sleep in the hall outside of our door on the nights that she gets wasted.</p>
<p>Lastly, he said that he has sophomore friends that go to the school already that will be watching over him, and will be ready to **** my *** if I ever cause corruption. (Which I won't..)</p>
<p>He WAS nicer. But not "nice."
I haven't decided if I'm gonna call UW Housing yet. I'm leaning towards no.</p>
<p>He might be trolling you. I'll bet that you show up there on move in day and meet a nice guy. It seems as though he has gotten to you, if that was his intention.</p>
<p>It almost sounds like this guy just wants a single dorm.</p>
<p>i should troll to my room mate. he called me yesterday drunk as hell, twice in fact and this was 3 in the morning. good thing i was up or i wouldve been ****ed</p>
