What is important to avoid in a roommate?


I'm doing this housing card for my college this fall and one of the survey question was this. so I was wondering what the upcoming freshmans in college this fall have in mind?

cleanliness/hygiene. fo sho.

[DanTat]

trustworthy + friendly

[cbxjenn]

they must follow the 10 commandments. kidding.. well they just have to follow "dont steal" "dont murder"
they must be clean/nonsmelly
can't be a whore and bring over her lover everyday for godknowswhat


thats all i can think of right now. :]

[c a t h e r s]

they have to be niiice...and friendly...and able to accept me. wont judge me right away.

CLEEEEEEEEEEEEEAN. i cant stand people that dont clean up after themselves...

not a bookworm 24/7 but not a real party animal either.

cant snore really really loud XD

[CALI-sweetie]

hahaha DONT STEAL. thats my number 1

and I dont care if they dont clean up after themelves, because i dont, really. I just hope they have good hygiene and dont borrow my stuff without asking! and i hope theyre not sex freaks or something.. well if they are then i hope they do it at his place hahahahahaha


and i don't mind if they are party animals because I am too. But I wouldn't min dif they were bookworms. I think that would be cool so they would always be like.. reading or whatever and wouldnt bother me woohoo

trustworthiness/friendliness
have a common sense of manners (hygiene, excessive phone talking)
have a decent sense of morals (privacy and property)

[josebiwasabi]

respecting your space (aka realizing that the room is not a single) is the most important

most important thing to ignore in a roommate is walking in on them during certain activities

What is important to you in a roommate? Friendly/Honest

What is important to avoid in a roommate? ARGUMENTS!! seriously. x_x

[dreamsicle]

What is important to you in a roommate?

- Respect privacy and personal boundaries. I don't want a roommate who lets her friends treat my part of the room as their own and sit on my bed, mess with my stuff, etc.
- No stealing.
- Same sleeping pattern.
- Same level of neatness/hygiene or at least close.

What is important to avoid in a roommate?

- Promiscuous girllll... lol
- Drinker, smoker, druggie
- Heavy party type

----

I don't think drinking is a type of question asked on a survey for underage roomies? That's a shame. Underage drinking is so common, they shouldn't avoid it as a possibility.

[PINKXDREAMER]

what's important in a roommate?
-must respect my privacy
-hygiene
-friendly/social

[astar]

Important:
Trustworthy, Somewhat clean, Not overly emotional, Smart

Avoid:
A smoker, A HUGE partier, as others have said a sex addict

Otherwise, if I cannot avoid it, I'm thankfully thinking my roommate might not be around all that much.

[chiniria]

What is important to you in a roommate?
Respect, Morals, Open-minded, maybe religious (Christian)

What is important to avoid in a roommate?
The opposites of what's mentioned above, except for religion, bad influence.

Hmm.. I don't think the colleges would be looking for those things in roommate cards. I have a feeling it's because.. they expect every student to be like that (with exception of religion)

[miridia]

I'd want my roommate to be clean. o__o; I'm not clean either, but when it comes to something that I share, I'll respect them and do my cleaning and hope they'll do theirs. Oh yes, a non-smoker, nice with moral values, and respectful and serious with their stay in uni.

I don't want someone who's mean, scary, pornographic freak, drinker, smoker...anything scary of the bit. Ahaha, I just wanna be able to trust them. ;D And hopefully, they're not annoying and won't talk to me all the time.


*coughack* I hope no one minds me as their roommate. -__-; I snore at night...xD.

[yerathy]

It's a good idea to have a talk with your soon-to-be roomie and make like a contract and both sign it. So I guess the most important thing to me is a roomie who can compromise!

[j1youngxj3]

clean. nice. smells good. non drinker/smoker/drug. non whore. trustworthy. non shady. non party animal. preferably Christian. doesn't mind me eating korean food. X]

[XtremeNuisance]

What's important for my roomate to have? Besides sanity???

Well... They have to be at least a little clean. Adn if not clean, keep their mess off of my side of the room. Simple. ^^ OH, and they can't be the type who would get on my nerves because they're either a) correcting me all of the time, have relationship problems and bother me about it, c) smoking (I will not stand for smokers. If you're going to smoke, don't do it around me. I had cancer all ready and I am NOT about to get cancer somewhere else because of secondhand smoke, okay? okay!) or d) acting like they know everything (even if they're wrong. ^^). Other wise.... I'll take anyone. I'm willing to open my horizons on the type of friends that I get and everything. College is, after all, a new start, right???? RIGHT?!?!? lol. jk jk.

[_shineXO1]

important: trust & respect for each other

[mnmadi]

when I applied I put:
respects privacy, clean, quiet, and early bedtime

I don't think the housing committee looked at a single word I wrote -_-

to be honest, the housing staff has hundreds or thousands of applications to look at (depending on your school)
so I'd doubt they'll be able to pair you together with your "perfect ideal" roommate
just put down 1 or 2 of your most important qualities and cross your fingers

if you tell them that you have a real severe health disability, they can probably try to accomodate you
otherwise, good luck!
