you want to room with someone else. What to tell your roomie.

<p>I'm home from college and I have a problem. What do you tell a roommate whom you really like, that next year you want to room with someone else? I lived with my roommate for 2 years and another friend for one year (all 3 together one year). I really like both rommies, but I want to live with another good friend. What do I tell my roommates? I still really like them and don't want to hurt them.</p>

<p>Tell them the truth. Tell them that you'd like to room with somebody else, but you still really like them. Be honest and concise, don't put in too many details unless they ask for them.</p>

<p>Don't sugarcoat it, just be frank about it. Otherwise they'll talk behind your back about it. Unless this involves screwing them over with the rent or something, in which case, you should deal with it and not move out because that's just wrong.</p>

<p>Do you seriously have four billion posts?</p>

<p>four billion, two-hundred ninety-four million, nine-hundred sixty-seven, two-hundred ninety-five posts to be exact.</p>

<p>but that is a neat trick.</p>

<p>Yea. My mom said the post number is some strange mistake. BTW, I don't owe rent to anyone. This is for next year.</p>

<p>Let your current roommate know ASAP so he/she can start asking around for a new roommate for next year. It would really stink if you waited until the last minute.</p>

<p>Good advice, nysmile. Because you've lived with this person so long, I think you are justified in asking for a change. Say something like, "I've really enjoyed living with you, but Jane and I were talking about rooming together next year, as we've never been roommates." My S had to have this conversation with his freshman roommate recently, and said, "I thought you would be living with (insert names of other possibilities) and John and I have talked about living together, but I'll let you know ASAP what we decide."</p>
