<p>What would your worst/best possible roommate be like? What are you hoping for?</p>
<p>I'm hoping for someone who isn't snotty, rude, or unreasonable. </p>
<p>I would hope the guy I'll be rooming with likes sports or has some of the same interests as I do b/c it'd be a shame to room with someone who's like the complete opposite in terms of interests.</p>
<p>Hopefully we won't be enemies or anything.</p>

<p>Trust me. It sucks. So bad.</p>
<p>I'm just hoping for a roommate that I can get along with and is communicative. I don't really are that we become great friends, just as long as we respect each other.</p>
<p>I am just hoping for someone decently clean, quiet and whose boyfriend doesn't spend every night in our room.</p>
<p>decently clean, not a drugy, not a huge drinker, moderately respects my wishes, and not to sound stereotypical, but i want a straight guy. and some1 that likes sports.</p>

ditto. I don't have to be best friends, we just have to be mutually respectful.</p>
<p>Not white is my perfect room mate, i go to school with alot of suburban kids and white suburbans are crazed.</p>
<p>Not mexican. I go to school with too many.</p>
<p>i want someone with a good sense of humor,doesn't snore, isnt a slob or a neat freak.</p>
<p>Ive had a roomate that masterbated while I could flat out see him. Kinda wierd. dont ya think</p>
<p>Hopefully my roomie is an art or humanities major</p>
<p>Well, I'm opting to keep an open mind. Sometimes, the one person that you might have dreaded rooming with might end up teaching you and opening your mind to lots of things. It's a matter of luck, tolerance, and respect.</p>
<p>She didn't know how to--</p>
<p>-wake up on time by herself
-wash clothes...she was 17 for christ's sake
-go anywhere alone...afraid of getting rapped or attacked\
-keep a secret
- gett ready in time for class</p>
<p>She did know how to ---</p>
<p>-annoy the **** outta me
-leave her clothes all over the damn room
-put ice ceam bars in the refridgerator after i told her SEVERAL times that they would melt!! but oh well, it got all sticky but it was her fridge and hers to clean</p>
<p>Overall--i rate the experience...C+. I tried to just ignore her, push her clothes on her side of the room, and sleep with ear plugs!</p>
<p>who the hell doesnt know how to do laundry- Ive been doing my own laundry since I was 9- then again I have 3 little sisters and an older brother- I have to be a like a second mom</p>
<p>^ so have I!!!! i didnt get it! and she was a yera older than me..and im 17 now. Also, if she didnt know, her parents shouldv'e taught before she arrived..waht a mess pot</p>
<p>I dont know how u dealt with it- I wouldve said something to her. oh well, at least shes not ur perminent roomate</p>
<p>My roommate at governor's school (a six week summer program at a college) was ridiculous. She was so uptight, antisocial, and her head was surgically connected to her phone (she was in the room every second on the phone with her boyfriend.) She would even call him at 6:30 AM, which was way before we needed to get up, to wake him up for work. I mean talk about codependent... she refused to make friends with guys because she said she didn't need any guy friends... she already had her boyfriend. This meant that she wouldn't go to any dances or parties that involved guys.</p>
<p>She was a nice girl and all, but her constant presence in the room grated on my nerves after a while. Sometimes you just need a little alone time. I spent a lot of time trying to bring her out of her shell, and I think it was a learning experience for both of us, but I definitely don't want a roommate like her in college.</p>
<p>At a summer program I went to last year, I had the worst roommate ever. She was the exactly opposite of me in every way possible.</p>
<ul>
<li>Her favorite genre of music is rap, and she has a lot of friends who love country. They come in our room and turn the stereo way up. <em>cringe</em></li>
<li>She's a hardcore Christian, and I'm an atheist.</li>
<li>She does the most obnoxious and vulgar dances to the most obnoxious and vulgar rap music every single day and night.</li>
<li>She hogs the room all the time, and kicks me out when I go in when she and her friends are having a party.</li>
<li>She has to sleep with the lights on and some noise in the room. I can sleep only when it's completely dark and quiet. Once, I turned off all the lights and the radio, and she started crying. Oh yeah, and there was this one time her teddy bear fell to the ground and she started crying, and I had to climb down from my bunk and pick it up for her because I didn't want to hear her whine and cry all night.</li>
<li>She and her friends party every single night in our room.</li>
<li>She's a big homophobe, and I'm bisexual, more towards the lesbian side. I didn't tell her this, but I think she would have called the program coordinators and get me kicked for sexual harrassment if I did (no way would I be attracted to someone as hideous and repulsive as she is).</li>
</ul>
<p>That summer was pure hell. If I could have switched roommates, I would done that right after the first day. But the point of matching you up with someone different from you is so you could learn from them about life... argh.</p>
<p>Omg, lol, she started crying? How old is this girl? I hope ur jking. what did u do or say?</p>
