<p>^ I am honored you posted on my thread.</p>
<p>Go Tritons!</p>
<p>That's UCSD, not UCLA :P</p>
<p>^heh, he goes to UCSD for grad school now. ;)</p>
<p>ooooook ic :)</p>
<p>hahaha...</p>
<p>Definitely just be considerate. Unless she is really messy, try to do your best to keep your personal stuff that no one wants to see (undies, used towels, dirty dishes) out of the common areas. </p>
<p>Remember that this isn't a frat house and girls like it to be quiet sometimes. Don't have raging parties every single night and try to keep drunk friends to the minimum. </p>
<p>Don't let anything get smelly. That is SOOO GROSSSSS. </p>
<p>Put the toilet seat down, and if there are two bathrooms, BY ALL MEANS let the girl have her own bathroom. </p>
<p>If you clean up the kitchen once in awhile, she will really appreciate it. </p>
<p>Thats about it. Good luck!</p>
<p>"hahaha...</p>

<p>CityGal55, thanks for the advice! I'll try to keep all my **** out of the communal areas and I'll do everything I can to keep our house from smelling like ****. ha</p>
<p>I'm so not down with the seat rule. Here's why.</p>
<p>I believe in a guys put it up, girls put it down rule. I think that is FAIR and EQUITABLE for all parties involved. Of course, my raging feminism usually doesn't sit well with most people, so...</p>
<p>I do the seat down thing with most people.</p>
<p>But I'll be damned if I think it's equitable! :p</p>
<p>Oh, and people who don't clean the kitchen suck.</p>
<p>According to one of my professors (female, speaking to a class that was all girls except for one guy), it's best for girls to have guys for roommates. If two girls room together, they will bicker the whole time they live together, and the cops will have to be called at least once. A guy will never tell a girl that she's fat, and will certainly never steal her clothes.<br>
I would say to just make sure that all the housework is equally divided, and not intrude on her space.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>I think it's going to work out fine. I know this kid who's just moving out of his parent's house into an apartment with three girls, which is going to be pretty insane for him, I think. But since he's outnumbered they'll whip him into shape...</p>
<p>Yeah, just use common sense; be neat, don't walk around in your boxers, go into her room, etc. Unless she's walking around in /her/ underwear, then I guess it's ok ;).</p>
<p>And don't go through her purse! Jesus, I can't count the number of guys who just pick up my purse and go through all my stuff. What the heck is up with that? Didn't their moms teach them anything?</p>
<p>...Sorry...pet peeve...haha.</p>
<p>i had an apartment with four girls during college, but i think i spent as much time at my best friends house (male) than i did at mine. (def. slept there as often).. </p>
<p>if i'm at a guys house using their bathroom, i always put the toilet seat back up. just as i expect them to put it back down when at my house. I think that's a fair trade. I don't know how you would do it if it's a girl and a guy in a house. either way someone is always changing it, so whatever works.</p>
<p>my friend always viewed me being there more as like a little sister. don't try anything. :P</p>
<p>and as far as walking around in boxers, i don't have a problem with that. i've seen my friend and his roommate walk around in their boxers, and they've seen me walk around in my boxers. now if we were walking around in thongs, that would be a different story... :)</p>
<p>miss super, i know what you mean. It drives me nuts when people look through my purse. Not because i have things to hide in there, but it's just a huge pet peeve of mine. one of my guy friends was looking through it one day and i practcally flipped out. I think he thought i was mad at him for like a week. :P</p>
<p>i'm a guy and was asked by 2 female friends to be the third apartmentmate. my mom says the girls are going to "take advantage of me."</p>
<p>i still havent figured out what exactly does she mean. will they make me do housework or something? anyone with some insight?</p>
<p>A reminder to keep things clean and on topic. I have removed several posts that were inappropriate for College Confidential's forums. More inappropriate posts will cause this topic to be closed.</p>
<p>Less than a month before I move in with my female roommate(s)! I hope we get along or at the very least, have our living arrangement be entertaining like Will and Grace or Friends etc :)</p>
<p>Where is this? I tried to look for off campus housing at Berkeley since it's cheaper but it is hard to find. </p>
<p>I'd imagine you'll need more information anyway. The fact that she's a freshman willing to be roommates with at least one male stranger probably means she is a little more open/comfortable.</p>
<p>I searched on Cal Rentals. Its like five blocks down telegraph (kinda far) and on dana...</p>
<p>Haha, true that says alot about her.</p>
<p>^ i don't know why but most guys rooms tend to smell.. in that guy way (guys don't seem to know that smell but girls usually do) it's not bad or anything but that's one thing i notice about guys.</p>
<p>Anyways long as you respect each other's space and don't try to rape(?) eachother (one way or another hahaha) i think it'll be quite interesting. XD good luck</p>
<p>Although i have heard of someone who was rooming with one guy (writer was a girl) who had a girlfriend... and a boyfriend (that the girlfriend didin't know about) whenever he was getting it on with his 'boyfriend' and his girlfriend came in, he would act like the writer and his boyfriend were a couple. I heard it wasn't so pleasant. XP but since it's not same room deal it won't be that bad..</p>

<p>All I have to say is 'wow' and this emoticon here: :eek:</p>
<p>this is so stupid. girls and boys are supposed to live seperately . thats what is best. or else there will be defintiely intorusion of space etcc and lost more buls****. it is boound to happen.</p>
<p>I couldn't room with the opposite sex LOL. I hate to admit it, but the poor boy would be hit on by me haha!</p>
<p>Really no big deal.</p>
