Should I try to switch roommates?

<p>Long story short, my roommate and I are complete opposites. We were placed together randomly, and when we talked over Facebook during the summer, at first she seemed nice. Not to say she isn't, but I don't think we're working out.</p>

<p>The second night of actually being at school, she got super drunk and I had to stay up and watch her during the night to make sure she didn't die or vomit or whatever. That hasn't happened since, but she does still go out Thursday-Saturday night and drink a lot and I believe she smokes, too. Not to say that these are bad things, and I don't think she's a bad person, but again, this is the exact opposite of what I do. </p>

<p>I'm trying to get a scholarship, so my grades are extremely important, and also, it requires that I maintain a clean record, so her activities make me nervous, in case I am ever accidentally involved if she ever gets in trouble. Also, she never cleans and she is generally very careless--leaving the door unlock, the fridge open, etc. She also is not very respectful--she goes to sleep later than I do, and sometimes she'll turn the lights on and knock stuff around while I'm sleeping and wake me up.</p>

<p>I tried to see if things would get better after a few weeks, but it's been about a month and I still don't think we're a good match. Should I try to switch roommates--either get her or I to move out--or should I try to make the best of it?</p>

<p>it’s hard to alter a person,so u’d better switch it soon.and u can concentrate most of your attention on your course</p>

<p>If you two are under age, and she is keeping alcohol and/or drugs in the room, she is putting you at risk. You may have trouble proving that none of it is yours. </p>

<p>If her behavior is making it difficult to obtain the GPA needed to maintain your scholarships, that is also putting you at risk.</p>

<p>Don’t be nasty or snide about it. Just request a room change.</p>

<p>leave the room. first find the RA and explain the situation and go get a room change. its your college experience and why would you want to spend it in fear of getting in trouble? it happens all the time!</p>
