Should I correspond with future floormates on my school's fb page or should I wait?

<p>More specifically...</p>

<p>My school has a facebook page. We recently received our roommates/room numbers. We're all freshmen. Well, the page is blowing up. People keep asking who are their neighbhors and suitemates. This girl Ellie friended me a while back when I posted on the page once. I let it sit there. Fast forward to now. She keeps asking, "Who is in room 315!!?!", "The people in 315 are a mystery!", etc. (She also posts stuff like, "Hahaha can't we just move in NOW!?" and "I'll have oreos in my room!", "We need to work out together!")</p>

<p>I am in room 315. Ellie constantly posts on the fb page, makes inside jokes with other people, and posts too much. I want to let her know I am in 315 and thus her possible suitemate, but at the same time I don't. I am hesitating because judging by how much she posts. It kinda worries me.</p>

<p>Should I let her know that I am in room 315 or just let her wait until we meet on the first day of school? We might not be suitemates, but definitely neighbors. I like meeting people in person, but I already formed a stupid judgement on her...</p>

<p>Remember, people act differently often online then they do in person.</p>

<p>I would just wait, but that’s just me.</p>

<p>Meh, you’ll be sick of seeing your floormates by the end of the year anyway, so why accelerate the process. Ellie will be finding out soon enough “who is in room 315???!?!!!”</p>

<p>I hate when people do that. Personally, I would just wait and introduce myself in person and not dwell on whatever people are saying on there. She’ll meet you eventually, so there’s no point in giving her the opportunity to make a fuss over who you are right now. Good luck, and I’m sure everything will be fine. Like someone else said, people act differently online than they do in person. Many of the people I talked to in the beginning of my first year were not who I spoke to at the end of the year.</p>

<p>I’d just wait… I understand how talking in person is better than online.</p>
