<p>I am just finishing a year with a roommate who didn’t have a whole lot in common with me. It wasn’t horrible, we just respected each other and talked about the few things we did have in common, like school. I didn’t really do anything with him though. We just kinda went about our lives. In fact, I go to a college where I don’t really have much in common with anybody here, so I know how you feel. </p>
<p>If you really want to have a roommate that you can be good friends with, then you might want to think about switching. Also, if your roommate really starts being obnoxious and you can’t stand it, I’d consider switching. Otherwise, just get through the year.</p>
