Sleeping with the enemy

<p>I feel lucky to have good room/suitemates; I’ve already met them and we have everything planned for our rooms, but some stories on Facebook scared me.</p>

<p>“ I requested a single modern room because I need privacy, I’m not good at sharing my space… I need the room from 4pm to 10pm to practice violin… lights out by 11pm”</p>

<p>“You should take your own fridge, I’m a clean person and I don’t share those things with strangers.”</p>

<p>“I usually go to bed early at night, would you mind to study in the library after 9pm?”</p>

<p>“My boyfriend will sleep with me on the weekends, I won’t discuss about this.”</p>

<p>wow, i would be terrified too. the whole germ freak thing about the refigerator is pretty much just stuck up and annoying but honestly i would not be able to deal with the other ones...lights out at 9? *** ahah</p>

<p>Haven't posted in a while, but when I read this.....well, felt that I had to put in my two cents. One of the most important aspects of college is beginning the transition to "adulthood". That's why the residential experience is almost as important as the academic experience. It's very simple......dorm life with roommates is a matter of "compromise". You are no longer living at home with your family and, trust me, everyone has their own "quirks". Having said that, if someone is pushing past ordinary boundaries, don't be afraid to call them on it. It's all about respect for each other.</p>

<p>haha, that sucks...</p>

<p>wut th h*ll is this person majoring in music performance b/c that violin dude(tte) sounds like a bad case of "asian child forced to play violin by parents" syndrome. there is no f-ing way they can play violin for 6 hours and not screw up their classes. i feel for u</p>
