I did it. I paid for the other half though. Extra scholarship money FTW.

What a colossal waste of money...

my freshman year they had more people come in than expected so they tripled us up in double rooms. one of my roommates never showed up and the other one lived with his brother offcampus. so i had 3 sets of furniture with just myself.

Yep, total waste. I had to pay a few hundred dollars extra to not be packed into my dorm room like a sardine, and my GF and friends could come over without having to worry about a bitchy roommate. Oh yeah such a total waste.

you will have a high chance of getting that whiny duche as a roommate.

I had two roommates my freshman year, both named Eric.

First guy seemed cool on the phone, said he had a TV and radio he'd bring, so I didn't bother bringing one. I show up, and he had apparantly decided NOT to bring them, and he basically just slept all the time. We were only roommates for a month, and in that time we basically never said a word to one another. Eventually a spot opened up in his friend's room, so he moved in there.

I got another guy named Eric, more like me, and he was in a frat at another school. Very cool guy, we got along great, partied a bit, rest of the year was decent.

Happened to my neighbor. BOTH of the guys that were supposed to be in that room backed out a couple nights before move in day... they called him on move in day and told him that he had a room. After Thanksgiving, another guy moved in, but transferred schools at Christmas break. The spot never got filled, he never paid a penny more.

Then the next year, they wanted to make our hall one of those study-focus group hall things... wanted us to not keep our rooms and all... so we said we'd give it up if we got singles at the price of doubles (We wanted to keep our room and made a stupid offer fiuring they'd just let us stay and put the other students around us). The singles are only 3 feet smaller in width... (of a 13x14 room) exactly the same otherwise. My roomate, our neighbor and I all had singles in better hall at the price of a double the next year and were in a wing of a building that only had 7 rooms on each floor... but still had a lounge and laundry. We owned the floor, because as expected, most of the people who get singles are anti-social, and we were not.

Who thinks I get a double to myself, and who thinks I get some whining roomate who complained about their room/roomate and gets switched into my room?

I hated the whole random roommates thing. That's what I love about being married; it's like you get to pick your own favorite roommate and never have to live with another again

 

[w33bo]

after a couple weeks last year my roommate moved out and I never got a new roommate (that semester) so you have a chance, good luck

QFT. Happened to me. Had a nice huge ass room to myself for like 3 weeks. Then this sick creature moved in. Made the rest of that semester a LIVING HELL!

Why the hell is he eating a stick of butter??

Yeah, my roommate was a fundie christian who got more than a little offended when I didn't line straight up with his religious beliefs.

Roomie: "So, CKM, don't you think that jesus' like...responsible for everything we enjoy now?"

Me: "Uh, no. Man, it's like three. I've got class in the morning, go back to sleep"

Ben: "I don't get how you can shrug it off so casually"

Me: "I'd shrug off a bomb threat at three in the morning. If all four horsemen started playing scrabble on the floor of our room right now, I'd tell them to keep it down and that "carmageddon" isn't a real word."

Except when you want to have a girl over and they won't leave because it is "immoral."

Because he is FSCKED in the head!!! He was a "Vegetarian that doesnt eat vegetables" so his meals consisted of french fries, ice cream, chips, and sticks of butter.

I started one year with a bookworm roommate, but he was pretty cool (he liked NFL football and enjoyed a lot of the same movies I liked). The best part was that he spent most of the weekends in the library, at his parents? house or some combination of the two, so I had the place pretty much to myself (with my now wife, of course) on the weekends. He transferred after x-mas break

My next roommate was ALWAYS in the library or in class. I would only see him if I got up to pee in the middle of the night and he was asleep in his bed.

The best part, however, was that the dorms were co-ed, so next door I had two hot Hot HOT (did I mention they were hot?) girls who loved to walk around in their PJs (small shirt, no bra, short-shorts) and play drinking games. We shared a bathroom with them, so we would pass each other coming in and out of the shower, etc. I had a gf, so I wasn?t going to do anything, but, the eye candy was marvelous that year.
