i was just wondering if it is a good idea to room with a friend. will it make you closer or will you get annoyed with each other? whats your experience?

[hiimpaulkim]

Just do it asdasdasdasasdasdasdadasd

It depends. I have never dormed with a friend but I know a couple of other people that did. For someone it definitely made them closer but, for others that had been good friends for many years they kind of got sick of each other. Personally, I wouldn't dorm with a friend because you could end up getting on each other's nerves and ruin your friendship but, if you really want to it could possibly bring you guys even closer^^

Naaah, I wouldn't do that.

If you dorm with "strangers", you can make some new friends/meet new people
You can always go and hang with your friend if you"re bored or want to spend some "quality" time with him/her.

^ What she said. I personally roomed with people I barely knew and it was just easier for me. Rooming with friends sounds fun, but when you're really relaxed with someone to the point you already know their mannerisms and they know yours, things (like keeping the place clean) can get carried away. I'm usually the more conscious type and try to be respectful, but I have friends who really make themselves at home...if you can understand where I'm coming from.

In my experience there was kind of an awkward stage where my roomates and I made sure to keep ourselves (b/c we didn't know each other) and so it became a good kind of habit...Until we got used to each other hahaha. I know friends who roomed with each other and got on each others nerves...They didn't wreck their friendship but their arguments remind me of the type siblings would have.

i roomed with someone from my high school, but i wasn't very close with her. i didn't randomed my roommate, but it turned out well. we got to know each other and now we're practically finishing each others sentences and saying things at the exact same time

room with a friend (not like a bff...but a friend.) if you know her manniersms for studying, hygiene, respectfulness, ease to talk to about ANYTHING, trust...etc.

if stuff like that is really different, than I wouldnt advise you to room together.

I roomed with a random chick that I literally met the day we both moved in. Lets just say -- currently, we're
at war / drama. =_=;;;;

we'll try and get the differences resolved by monday night though..hopefully =p


so if you can get someone you do know, kudos. If not, you dont always get the most 'ideal' roomate, and just has to trust to luck and good fortune.

which went really sour in my case...but...eh

You will eventually get annoyed, trust me.

I don't think its a bad idea if you know your friend has good living habits. I roomed with 2 of my good friends in college and we were fine. They were considerate and cleaned after themselves. No one was too loud. No problem with having too many guests. Though I knew them both well before, I got to know them even better.

BUT, I have heard of a lot of bad experiences. In general, I just prefer living with someone I know than someone I don't know.

all my roomates are white, and one of them just blamed me for using his soap...>=( D... Bast..., don't like me cuz im the only azn guy living here

[eclipsesque.]

You will eventually get annoyed, trust me.

I'm actually agree with you. I've experienced that before. Luckily we just be a roommate for 1 semester.
Idk what would happen if we continue to be a roommate for longer. We were closer again and I guess better than before by now (:
Its weird because sometimes for no reason, we went quiet to each other. It was not like we get annoyed with each other, but Idk. It was awkward and sometimes we even keep quite from each other.
I guess it is better to just get a roommate with someone who you don't really know.

My sis is rooming with her friend this year.

She calls me every once in a while to nag about how she and her friend don't "click" as roommates. funny stuff. I, on the other hand, chose random. Best decision I've made.
