<p>I transferred in as a spring semester freshman and I got along with my roommate for that semester. There were some small things that didn't work out but overall we liked each other. This semester though things aren't working out. We are in the room together more often, she brings her boy here, watches tv a lot when I need to study. Worst was on Yom Kippur night I was sleeping, wake up to see her sneak her boy in. Then I can't sleep and go do my laundry. I get back and it smells "odd" if you kno what I mean. That was the worst part for me. In general she is just not very considerate- she talks on the phone for a long time even if I'm trying to study. We are different and academics is my first priority and my classes take a lot of time. She likes tv and chillin and stuff. So that's cool but I can't live with it really. It has gotten better with time and with me getting more guts. But I really just want a single or a single in a suite. If I sign up for a roomchange I CANNOT decline! So I must choose wisely- whether I want it or not.</p>
<p>Basically, if I do sign up, should I tell my roommate beforehand? Since it's really just like, if I can get a single I'll move and if I can't I won't bother since my situation isn't HORRIBLE. I'm not sure what to do. If i tell her beforehand that I'm considering the roomchange she might think I hate her or something. I don't hate her, I just don't think we are the best fit roomies. If I don't tell her beforehand and I end up getting the room it is inconsiderate just dropping something on her like oh btw I'm moving out. So what would you do?</p>
<p>I'm changing roommates next semester. It had been on the back of my mind for a while but finally my rm brought it up. I think she said something along the lines of that we had very different schedules (true) and different priorities (also true). And that was okay with me. We'll probably both be happier with someone else.</p>
<p>Do you have a friend that you might want to room with? If not, do you want to take the chance of getting stuck with someone worse than who you're presently with?</p>
<p>Apply for a room change ASAP, and you don't have to say a word to your roomie - besides, why do you care if you hurt her feelings? She obviously doesn't care about your needs since she's inconsiderate.</p>
<p>I'm basically in the same boat - i've got an amazingly inconsiderate roommate and i'm changing rooms...I won't be saying a word to him about it. But one thing to remember is to lay down the ground rules with your new roommate from the beginning.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Just apply for the room change, and if you are "accepted", then tell her.</p>
<p>At least tell your roommate before she enters the room and you are walking out the door with all your packed stuff. That is what my (now former) roommate did to me. Granted, I was planning on asking for a reassignment too, before she moved out. So I'm happier living in a double without a roommate. I think goldshadow's advice is the best, you don't have say anything until you know that you will be reassigned. Unless, you want to. Then, tell her before you actually move out.</p>
<p>we are friends so that makes it kinda hard for me. to decide and to tell her. i think that there are a lot of friends that i wouldn't necessarily want to live wiht even tho we get along</p>
<p>^ yeah i agree. I love my best friend but I would never live with her again,too much drama, too much stress.</p>
