<p>im a transfer from a cc and have been living on my own for 2 years.... found out i will be in a dorm next year! im a little nervous about being with some random person, and most likely a freshmen!</p>
<p>anyone else in this situation? if so, what are your thoughts. or if youve been in this situation,what advise can you give on living with a random person whom youve never met before?</p>
<p>ps, im transferring to ucsb</p>
<p>well I’ll be rooming with TWO random people! more chance that I’ll get someone bad. but at least theres a low chance of getting two bad people. </p>
<p>if youve never had a roomate before, or a sibling, be prepared to be a little more tolerant than how you are now. most importantly, talk about whats annoying to you and see if they can do something about it. remember to communicate!</p>
<p>my room will be the most epic room on campus</p>
<p>^ That’s the spirit!</p>
<p>im transferring to ucsb too. so it isn’t guaranteed that we’d room with other transfers? i thought majority of transfer students room together or they try their best to put transfers and eap students into manzanita village or the san rafael residential halls?</p>
<p>i’m not transferring till fall 2011, but i’m already thinking about this haha. both nervous and excited. never shared a room before! do most schools pair up transfers with freshmen, or is it transfers with transfers for the most part? honestly i would much rather be with another transfer considering that ill be 22 when i transfer, no offense to freshmen, but i can just picture a transfer roommate being a lot more mature and easier to deal with.</p>
<p>I’m transferring this fall too, and kinda torn on the whole dorm thing. I’m really glad that I’ll be away from my family, but I’m more than a little freaked out about sharing a room with a stranger. The idea of eating cafeteria food is also vaguely scary - then again, with that one, the worst case scenario is that I lose a little weight, which wouldn’t be a problem. The worst case with the dorm is… I don’t know - someone who keeps me up at night? Someone I can’t stand? Someone who murders me in my sleep?</p>
<p>I think if I wouldn’t have had my bratty little sister to deal with, I probably wouldn’t/couldn’t get used to this roommate thing, hahaha. </p>
<p>Don’t stress out about it so much! </p>
<p>(but hopefully you don’t get roomed with a freshman! what a bust that would be! :|)</p>
<p>I’m not dorming but I’m living in student apartments on campus and I’m getting a random roommate too. I’ve never lived with anyone either and I’m an only child so I’m pretty nervous. I’m not expecting to make friends with my roommate but I just hope we have a respectful relationship. I wish I knew who my roommate was earlier too. I’m mostly worried about the roommate’s cleanliness tbh. I’m okay with a little messy but it really freaks me out when something is DIRTY, like a gross dirty toilet or a tub with a ring 
I need these things to be clean or I will flip out, seriously. Lol</p>
<p>yo, i have SEVEN roommates that i’ve never even met before. It’s the unknown that makes college so great.</p>
<p>^ Agreed. Well said!</p>
<p>It’s funny that some people are going to be sad about leaving their parents and their parents food. After two extra years with them, I think it’s finally time to leave. Plus, my parents make some pretty unpleasant food sometimes, so I’m glad I can finally have food that they’re paying for, but that I get to choose in the end. Yey~ Not to say I’m not totally freaked and sad to leave my hometown…boo</p>
