<p>I know most people prefer e-mail or Facebook, but here is the problem. We are moving in to school Thursday and I have sent my roommate two e-mail messages and a Facebook message over the span of a few weeks but got no response. I really want to start splitting things like microwave, phone, and other room items. Her phone number is listed in the contact info; would it be wrong to call her at this point, with only three days left until move-in, including today? I don't want to come off as crazy and overbearing but I do want a refrigerator! Large items like that would be difficult to get on-campus once my parents leave with the car.</p>
<p>(Oh, and I'm not making any assumptions about her yet! I figured she is probably traveling, but it wouldn't hurt to try exhausting all my options in the rare case she doesn't look at her school e-mail or Facebook often)</p>
<p>you can call her, but you can't expect her to be required to help with the large items. she might not be planning on buying anything big and your messages might make it sound like you want to split the cost. if she's able to help with the cost that's great, but not everyone plans on buying microwaves and refrigerators.</p>
<p>that's my guess on why she might not be responding.</p>
<p>^Hm, good point. I did assume we would be splitting items to bring (not the cost), depending on who already owns what and wants what and such. Otherwise we might end up with two of everything! I thought that was the norm. So that's really no excuse to not be contacting me and at least letting me know what's up, even if she doesn't so much as have a fan to her name.</p>
<p>I had everything my roommate and I needed because my sister just graduated from college. My roommate felt so guilty, but I am glad I got in touch with her before she went out and bought everything I already had.</p>
<p>So yes, the moral of my story is: call her!</p>
