<p>sorry if this has already been asked... i tried a search but didn't find anything.</p>
<p>i just filled out my housing & i'm confused by the online roommate selection process... the questions don't seem to really make sense (ex. Freshman: Always, Sometimes, Never; Undergrad: Always, Sometimes, Never; Grad: Always, Sometimes, Never; Yes: Always, Sometimes, Never).... anyone have any luck with this? and if i just leave it blank and hope for the best, will that put me at a disadvantage?</p>
<p>Ya, I was confused as well by this. Has anyone figured it out?</p>
<p>I just changed everything to the "don't care" option and it gave me a long list of people. Just go thru their profiles to see which ones are close to your answers. </p>
<p>I think I'll just leave my roommate up to chance.</p>
<p>Ugh, cowtipper1, this is so useless.</p>
<p>I clicked on someone random. They want complete quiet and they make their beds all the time and they want someone who does the same. </p>
<p>Clicked someone else. They listened to folk and easy listening and wanted someone with similar lack of musical taste.</p>
<p>This is BS. I want someone who'll share their clothes and help me do my makeup :(</p>
<p>hahaha I remember this roommate selection process last year. I actually just PM'd someone cool I met on CC, asked her about her sleeping patterns and made sure that ours were similar, whether she was the wild partying type (finding vomit and a passed out person in my room when I wake up is a no-no for me) or not, and we e-mailed the admissions office and just requested each other. As crazy as our meeting sounds (meeting your roomie on CC? lol), we get along great and we're really close now :) Besides, I didn't want to chance getting a roommate whose sleeping patterns and social life were too different from mine, because I def heard some horror stories about roommates before!</p>
<p>Whatever you guys do, just make sure that your roomie has similar sleeping patterns as you do. If you don't it's really difficult. I have friends who have to turn off the lights completely at 11 while they themselves go to sleep at 2 or 3, and it drives them completely up the wall!</p>
<p>haha well any cool GIRL who loves to party and is a late nighter and early riser PM me lol</p>
<p>...yeah i don't sleep much but i get by fine lol..at my alumni scholarship interbiew today the guys like, "at orientation they say u have time to do 2 of 3 things: study, sleep, or party"...i think i'll choose study and party haha</p>
<p>if you leave sleep out of daily life...believe me...you will change your mind! college students live to sleep. :)</p>
<p>Hahaha hibiscuspink I know what you mean. I just want somebody who is really fun and will dance around while we're getting ready to go out and will provide me with a doubled wardrobe and will not mind my pink Chi and girliness and occasional superficiality.</p>
<p>PM me if you're a girly soon-to-be-frosh @ USC! </p>
<p>We can sing to Mariah Carey while doing each other's makeup :D</p>
<p>haha any guys who aren't awkward/weird PM me if you want a cool roommate that doesn't steal your ****.</p>
<p>^^haha hibiscuspink i can't be your roommate 'cause i'm a guy but if you want to sing Mariah Carey and do each other's makeup that sounds like fun! hahaha sorta just kidding</p>
<p>Oh, symphony! <em>does that gay wrist flap thing</em></p>
<p>heyyy! straight guys like Mariah Carey too....</p>
<p>where are you guys finding this roommate thing?</p>
<p><a href="https://housing.usc.edu/%5B/url%5D">https://housing.usc.edu/</a> it's pretty much signing up for housing, and they give you this survey thing.</p>
<p>My biggest problem is probably finding a roommate that won't snore x_X I'm a really light sleeper</p>
<p>It only works for me if I leave it at "don't care" for a lot of them</p>
<p>and for the most important questions pick "same as my profile"
then you'll get people who have the same answers as you for some of the questions</p>
<p>P.S.>if you like to party as well as stay up late but also study, and aren't a complete neat freak but not too messy and dont smoke, pm me =)</p>
<p>err are you a guy ^^^^^</p>
<p>whoops sorry i forgot to mention
yea im a guy</p>
<p>so when did everyone apply for housing? I want to get an idea about where I am in the housing line LOL i applied around March 18th ish</p>
<p>I think you have a good chance of getting your first choice. A couple options disappeared when I applied yesterday though (Some dorms only had double w/ sink vs. only a double) So for those who havent applied yet I recommend applying ASAP.</p>
