<p>Itachirumon, lol, you sound like me! XD. Cept maybe I’m not on the computer quite so much…haha</p>
<p>My freshman roommate ended up one of my best friends, but we won’t be living together again because we need some more distance from each other. Living together and hanging out together almost 24/7 was a little too much for us.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I had a summer camp roommate that had everything matchy pink. I loathe pink, but we’re still pretty good friends.</p>
<p>But having that happen again and being as successful might be difficult, so I’m steering away from the pink…</p>
<p>Went in random…love my roommate so much that we’ve roomed for the last 2 years! I was just super lucky, we just happened to have the similar habits, both of us liked to party (but also cared about studying/grades), were super loud/outgoing, loved to be busy, and willing to share almost everything, etc. We’ve never had any sort of fight whatsoever, and although I’m not living with her next year (due to getting a cultural aide live-in position on campus) she is probably my best friend at school and I plan to live with her the following year off campus in a house. A couple of my friends have one horror story after another in terms of roommates, but the majority of roommates that I know get along civilly (but aren’t necessarily friends). It’s kind-of the luck of the draw, you never know who you’ll end up with! Good luck.</p>
<p>Do girls tend to have more roommate issues than guys?</p>
<p>All the people I know who ended up needing to switch rooms because of roommate problems were guys.</p>
<p>I don’t know how normal that is though.</p>
<p>reading all this i feel very fortunate. I (and all students except athletes in my school) had random assignments, and I got an awesome roommate who is clean, neat, nice, outgoing, showed me around, etc. I visited him this summer too and we keep in touch frequently. Additionally, I will be rooming with him next yr my soph yr</p>
<p>S had random roommates first year, has remained civil with them but chose not to room with the the following year.</p>
<p>D2’s random roommate turned out to be her best friend in college so far. They roomed together soph year and would have done so for jr year if they weren’t both going abroad to different countries.</p>
<p>Keeping fingers crossed for D3.</p>
<p>I just met my random roommate on Facebook today.
So far I really like her!</p>
<p>I went with a random roommate. I don’t know who it is yet (don’t find out for about another month), but I’m not too worried.</p>
<p>I went to boarding school for HS, so I had roommates there. In the three years I was there, I had two different roommates. </p>
<p>The first, who was my sophomore year roommate, was random. We turned out to be pretty much opposites, but it worked for us. We were fairly good friends all year and living with her was never a problem except for the fact that I was a neat freak and she was messy.</p>
<p>My junior year, I switched it up and decided to room with a different girl in my class who I was good friends with. It turned out horribly. She ended up being completely crazy, a terrible person to live with, and by the end of the year, I hated her. She brought her boyfriend over all the time without asking, left her smelly soccer clothes lying all over the floor, and had a habit of rearranging the room while I was in class. No joke. It was awful.</p>
<p>So for my senior year, I lived with my roommate from sophomore year. It was even better the second time around, because we were already friends and I’d lightened up a bit since we had last lived together. Now that we’ve graduated, I still count her as one of my best friends, and I’m going to miss her a lot next year when I’m living random again!</p>
<p>Most of my friends who had random roommates our sophomore year ended up staying with those roommates all three years. I am definitely in support of random roommates.</p>
