<p>So it's getting closer and closer to moving into college and I've e-mailed my roommate but she hasn't communicated with me yet. </p>
<p>Any advice? Help!</p>
<p>Maybe the wrong email? I got my housing letter and it had my roommate’s email and phone number. Luckily, I decided to stalk -I mean talk with- him over facebook and chat with him. He didn’t get the email because the Uni had the wrong email address. lol</p>
<p>Put her email into the search bar on facebook. It will almost always pull up the right person. You might try facebooking your roommate and see if they respond do that.</p>
<p>I had a similar issue! -laugh- My roommate took a bit to respond since she was away.</p>
<p>I would recommend, if its been more than a week, go ahead and send her a Facebook message. Go ahead and ask about what her major is, maybe what classes she’ll be taking, and what sort of things she plans on packing. That way you can get a start on deciding who will bring what. No need to have two TVs, two microwaves, etc. :)</p>
<p>Calling or texting might be an option if the school gave you her phone number.</p>
<p>@MissManda42 They didn’t give me anything except her e-mail address. @IThinkICan100 I’m gonna try your Facebook suggest and put her e-mail in it. Thanks guys!! I’ll try it.</p>
<p>My school only gave us our roommates email address as well so I emailed him. Then I went on facebook and found him on the schools class of 2015 page and we talked from there.</p>
<p>Try to get a hold of her and say hello. You never know, she just might be out of the home…so just hang on tight.</p>
<p>My college have move-in in 3 weeks…but they don’t give us roommate infos until next week…ugh.</p>
<p>Send a Facebook message. People are notoriously poor at checking school emails, if that was what was provided.</p>
<p>Though I wouldn’t go so far to ask what classes/major your roommate is taking, as I feel like that’s a good icebreaker to use when you’re there in person. A simple message asking about when she is moving in and what she plans on bringing should be enough to get a conversation going.</p>
<p>Keep in mind this is coming from a guy’s perspective, and us guys are less adept at reading social queues than girls are. lol</p>
<p>I also recommend check out your roommate on Facebook. My D had no communication with her assigned roommate. After emailing and getting no response, she finally looked her roommate up on Facebook and it looked like her roommate “Liked” another class of 2016 at a different university. We assume she had been waitlisted somewhere else and got accepted later in the summer.</p>
<p>If the email you were given is your future roommate’s school email address, it could be that your roommate doesn’t know how to access her school’s email address. I remember that was the case with my roommate last year, who didn’t know how to access her school email address until two weeks before the move-in date.</p>
<p>I tried putting her e-mail address in the search bar in Facebook, and no one came up.</p>
<p>you could just wait till move in day to meet her. then you guys will have lots to talk about. but what can i say ive been texting my roomate for the past month haha</p>
<p>Put her name into the Facebook bar if you can tell from the email. If you know where she lives use that to narrow down the results. If not put your university in the education bar and maybe she’ll turn up. Pull all the Facebook stalking tricks you know.</p>
<p>lucky you…we don’t get our roommate infos til the week before move-in…and we move in on the 24th…kinda mad at the college for waiting so dang long…</p>
<p>^that seems kinda odd that they’d wait that long. What school do you go to?</p>
<p>They don’t necessarily HAVE to respond to you, you know.</p>
