<p>Housing for next year is coming up and I know 2 kids I'm friends with are going to ask me to live with them. They're nice people, but not the type I want to live with and deal with everyday. How do I tell them I don't want to live with them. I'm thinking of saying I'm seeing what other people are doing first and seeing who else is living with who. Is that good enough?</p>
<p>Pre-emptively find another group to live with, so that by the time they ask you, you already have plans. Or, say you're applying to be an RA or something.</p>
<p>Tell them that it would be better that you didn't live together becaue you are friends. You don't think it would work and you want to preserve the friendship. Honestly, I'd be mad if my friends lied to me about wanting to live together. They're in college too, they can probably handle the truth.</p>
