<p>He's basically one of my best friends and we're gonna be rooming together this fall. I've heard different sides to this story, "you're going to end up hating him" or "since you guys are good friends you know your likes or dislikes". But I've also been told this usually only happens with the girls for the most part, any experiences? Good idea? Bad idea? Horror stories?</p>
<p>if youve camped with this person, stayed with them exclusively for a week, sharing a bathroom and room and survived then you are good. if not, be ready to argue and fight over stupid things or be passive aggressive(your choice). If you value your friendship you will have those fights and come up with solutions instead of penting up the anger. *My suggestion-this summer discuss hypothetical situations and how you would react to them with your friend-discuss taking out trash, friends over during studying, lights when someone is studying and the other is sleeping, music and headphones, sex, study groups in the room, being naked in the room, making food in the room, who will buy what(fridge, microwave, tv, water heater). sorry so long, but you have to discuss, if not you will get sad, angry or feel taken advantaged of</p>
<p>Ah I’m in a similar situation too. Me and agood friend are rooming together in the fall. I’m a little worried about the “you’ll end up hating each other” thing but she doesnt seemed phased at all. We’ve survive 4 days as roomates at our college orientation just fine, hopefully thats a good sign.</p>
<p>i agree with sapphire_ocean in that you should probably establish some basic ground rules over the summer. In addition, you guys should probably mention any particular peculiarities you guys might have so that the other person isn’t caught off guard. For instance, I don’t mind guests on my comforter, but I hate when guests rest their bodies on my head pillow and body pillow.</p>
