Roommate Question

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Southern California

<p>Me and Misoobishi were discussing about rooming together... because we are so awesome like that.</p>

<p>After much discussion, we decided it would be pretty cool if we did room together, but we have questions..:</p>

<p>---both of us sent the form about a month ago... so do we call the housing office or what to tell them about roommate preferences?</p>

<p>Also, she put birnkrant as her preference while i put new/north as my preference...(birnkrant 3rd) She put Trojan and Marks after Birnkrant...</p>

<p>If we sent it a month ago, is it likely that we'll get our first choices? (March 20~30 ish)</p>

<p>Oh, in case any of you were wondering, you can still make roommate requests (just called USC Housing)... just send an email to <a href="mailto:housing@usc.edu">housing@usc.edu</a></p>

<p>lol, that's pretty cool...meeting on CollegeConfidential and then rooming together. Kind of weird, but cool.</p>

4

<p>lol We figured we might as well room together if we were going to be stuck with someone random anyway.</p>

<p>Misobishi, UyuLove, </p>

<p>Just a thought to consider.... They say, in general, that it is not best to room with someone who you currently are, or who you want to be close friends with. (The man in charge of Housing told the parents this info, during the Explore-USC sesssions). He was quite firm about it. He indicated that differences in preferences, disagreements about minor things (cleanliness, noise, sleep hours, study habits, etc. etc.) not only can, but will arise, and can ruin existing, or spoil new friendships. I am not telling you that it WILL happen with you, but i guess that I wanted to pass on, from his years of experience, that it does happen on a regular basis, and just to consider it. I don't mean to be a "parent" about it, but merely to pass on comments from someone (head of housing) who has seen it over and over again. </p>

<p>Good luck to you, and best wishes.</p>

<p>... ^ true true. I have fought with my current best friend because i live in her house many times... hmmm what do u think misoobishi</p>

7

<p>lol I think roommates fight all the time anyway, and our sleeping habits are similar, so at least we won't throttle each other over that (my best friend sleeps at 10 PM...my goodness). And we both established that we're fairly messy and will study in the library, so hopefully there won't be too many problems. :)</p>

8

<p>lol, well you are both Korean so it will work out, lol! :)</p>

9

<p>lol Maybe we can bond over Korean food.</p>

10

<p>It's like everytime you guys fight...</p>

<p>Misoobishi: Hey uyulove, sorry about earlier....I made kimchijeegae for you!!</p>

<p>Uyulove: Omg, thanks...I forgive you.</p>

<p>lol, sorry. :/</p>

11

<p>lol That would make the entire dormitory smell :p I don't think the poor non-Koreans could handle it! Because it smells so good haha</p>

12

<p>^ I miss kimchijeegae.. >.< love that stuff.. n galbi.. lol!</p>

13

<p>Which dorms are you considering?</p>

14

<p>But it's ok, b/c there's a k-town near USC anyway. Like 20~30? minute drive and then it's like Korean food everywhere.</p>

15

<p>Definitely under 20 minutes.</p>

16

<p>My preference was New/North and then birnkrant.. misoobishi's was birnkrant and then trojan/marks. That was the only disagreement we had so far.. i really want new/north.. @.@ although i guess i wouldn't mind birnkrant</p>

17

<p>haha it sounds like you guys are getting married from that last post...already compromising =)</p>
