[KJI12345]

Oh this is great info...thx
Where is the downtown Riverside at? What shops are near it? Is it near the Unveristy Village?
also If we take one of those UCR shuttle (the blue and yellow color ones right?) where do we get off to go to the riverside train station?

Also, about how much does a ticket cost for one way trip? Is their any student discounts?

Downtown Riverside is west of UCR, about 2-3 miles away. It's no where near university village, university village is only a few blocks away from UCR.

You need to take either a city bus (like the #1) or the short white shuttle to get to the station, not the blue/yellow ones. I gave you a link to the times for it last post.

Only the short white UCR shuttle goes to the train station. Train fare is $10.50, $8 on weekends. Students can buy 10 trip tickets or a monthly pass at a 25% discount from parking.

You can probably get in with a 1700 SAT and a 3.0+ GPA.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

[chiluvskk]

ok so my roomate's been having her friends sleepover in our dorm a bunch of times now,
and i'm too shy to say anything. but it's frickin annoying, and they use our towels, shampoo,etcc.. cuse they never bring their own. wth?
and they don't even ask, or say thank u. even my roomate doesn't ask about them staying over, i just come back from class, and they're already there sleeping.

so is this normal for other people? or should i talk to my roomate about this, cuse i don't want them to stay over again?


Thanks guys

[jinnyblue]

Aww... and so the roommate problems arise. Well I'm pretty cool with my roommates, but I do ask them if they're ok when my friends come over. None have actually slept over, but they are over often enough where I do worry if they annoy my roommates. But we're all pretty ok with this.

I remember though how my roommate brought up an issue about me leaving my stuff on her desk (I use her mirror and sometimes forget and leave my makeup bag in her space >.<) I honestly was not offended and gladly took note of it.

Just bring the issue up and it'll be ok. =)

Orrrrr, u can be cruel and invite a bunch of your friends over and see how she likes it .xD Lol! Party at Chiluv's dorm!!!!!!!

[linaismylove]

Yeah, I've had a roommate problem myself, but I'm too shy and I don't like making any enemies, but my friends have been telling me to change roommates at the end of the quarter because my roommate is not one of the best, as my friends would know. There are so many things that irritate me about him. Once he even got drunk and threw up on my floor. I really don't want to be mean or anything and make it even more awkward for us to be living in this space and we are as some have said "polar opposites" There is really not much we have in common. I'm super neat, he's a dirty slob. I'm super clean, and he has bad hygiene. I'm super shy and he really social. I'm a good boy, and he's not. The list just goes on and on. What bothered me the most was when he leaves stuff on my desk or on my side of the room because he takes up so much space with all his stuff and all. I really don't want to be bothered by it, but it does bother me since I'm a really OCD. My friends from my hall have all told me to tell him to stop and no matter how many times anyone tells him to clean up. He never does. Yes, everyone in our hall despises him and thinks he weird, that's why I'm trying not to be mean. I think he's kind of a wanna-be because he told me on AIM that he would never drink or smoke and has never done it before. Then when we came to college, he freaking drinks AND smokes and basically lied and lied and lied ten times over. He also leaves his stuff everywhere. He spills crumbs everywhere. He takes everyone's food in the hall, I have speculation to believe that my food has been disappearing. He never wants to lock the door even when we're both sleeping. He also always forgets his keys and I can't lock the door. I feel so insecure when my door isn't locked because there have been many situations where people have gotten their things stolen. I do not want my things to be stolen and that is why I want the door to be locked. I'm trying my best to cope, but I don't really want to confront him myself because I don't know what he might do. He is kind of insane and I do not really know what he is capable of. People in my hall have told me that he goes into their rooms and takes food, but no one really wants to be mean because starting drama isn't anyone's thing. It has become a really large issue and a bit of an annoyance. I just want to move to somewhere else, but the grass may not always be greener and things could probably be subject to change. I hate to make enemies, btw, and I do not like being hated on especially when I might see them for 4 more years! I hope someone has a better solution than moving out or confront him.

[xWindwalkerx]

Just lock him out of the room, if he leaves his mini cooper in your side just throw in the trash can.

[LiSAA]

if the problem isnt solved through talking, you should tell your RA.

[chiluvskk]

how do u even change roomates by the way?

I mean don't they make u like talk to ur roomate first, and unless the problem isn't solved, THEN they let u change roomates?
cuse i don't think they'll let u that easily

[Annersx3]

in order to change room, there needs to be space/a really huge problem that cant be settled with counseling through ur RA/u need to find someone that will want to switch rooms with u. cause if they move u, what if there is no space? try talking about moving out to an apt to see if that's possible. as for the people using ur stuff. just hide it. and be like i would appreciate it if u dont touch my stuff. talk to ur RA first. thank goodness i dont live in the dorms anymore, although i did have roommate problems last year.

[Keion]

People and their silly problems...Maybe it's just me, but I know of a solution without thinking too hard.

You guys are just going to have to be big boys and girls and think of a way to kill your roommate. There, now you won't have to worry about girls bringing friends over or a roommate puking on your floor....because they're dead!

...Ok I'm kidding...and yes I have to say I'm kidding even if I'm not, even though I'm not saying I'm not. This is a response to both of you.

I'll offer a civil solution...since most of you guys don't want to be mean, which is understandable but not nearly as fun. Find the answer as to why your roommates are doing the things they do and then list a way of possible solutions that allow you to neutralize this predicament. You can be the biggest pansy in the world and still solve problems that would normally only be solvable with confrontation...You just gotta be creative! Confrontation is just easier...but usually has consequences...these depend on how you perceive them however.

Analyze the issue. You can solve it by lying, confrontation, appealing to emotions, fear, threats, suggestion...or by no communication at all and just simply adapt and turn off all your caring sensory receptors.

Every suggestion listed has the potential to be efficient, it all depends on how well you do it...some are more pricey.

If the friends of your roommate don't get out even after you tried doing whatever you did, then maybe you can attempt doing whatever it is you would do if they aren't there...unless the things you do are particularly secretive. This suggestion wouldn't work for me...if I were you, I'd go with appealing to emotions......A lot of people here still have emotions intact, just trigger them...make them feel sorry and guilty by not doing what you suggest. It's easy, I promise.

You can also try bargaining...I find that fun too. Especially when the bargain includes non-material things.

There is also sure fire way of getting what you want done, but that involves things you can't see...and I just know how we couldn't possibly imagine a world of which we cannot see.

Another suggestion...Everytime your roommate does something you don't like...with subtility, make them feel bad for doing it. Don't make it obvious...just say something that would demoralize them. Something that seems harmless, but will keep them thinking about it...Keep doing it and they will be conditioned to never do that again because the feeling of demoralization will occur in their mind if they do.
