so i've been in college for almost 2 months now.. i signed up for a double, but i think my roommate dropped out or sumthing, so i kinda have a single now..

anyways have any of u guys encounter this before? and if so did u get a roommate eventually?

rite now i have the 2 beds 2gether so i get a bigger bed ^^ but im technially not suppose to.. my ra told me i'm not suppose to and whatnot.. she also told me i might get a roommate 2morrow or not til next semester... i did think of separting my beds back to what it use to be because i dont want her to come in n be like "WTF@($(@!" lol

yea.. but w/e i'm enjoying every moment of it.. any of u guess been roommate less for the whole semi n only paid a double?

At this late in the semester I would think you're not going to get a room mate since classes have been underway for a while and whatnot. It'd be kinda silly to join up now unless a person doesn't like their room mate and they decide to leave another room mate for some reason. I don't have a room mate only because I don't live on campus since my school doesn't have dorms sadly.

One of my friend had a roommate but during the second quarter, that girl dropped out.
So for the rest of the school year, my friend had the room all to herself, and I'm pretty sure she paid the price of a double room.

im a roommate killer hahahahahahaha

last year after one semester one roommate dropped out and the other just switched rooms
now this year my roommate doesnt even sleep in our room because she has a boyfriend she can stay with...my guess is that she'll move out next semester


i swear im a good roommate though

but i like it too~a little lonely sometime but not too bad

Won't they give you prior notice if you're going to get a new roomate? I say just leave the beds together and enjoy the extra space while you can. biggrin.gif

And yeah I doubt that you will get a new roomate this semester since it's already half over. But next semester you may get a new roomie...hopefully you get along with each other. smile.gif

i was roomate less for about 2 weeks after school started then i got one..
im really sad actually because i like living by myself..
i mean i like my roomate...she is cool and all but i wished i lived by myself you know..its more convient..that way.

This is my first year and i've roommates hehe. But wow, i think i'd be a bit lonely without any actually. But i guess it's because i've lived with other ppl my whole life and i like company.^^ But yeah, i do like my own space.. i j/ think it'd be more comforting to have someone to talk to in the middle of the night or to get fast and convenient access to another opinion. happy.gif In the meanwhile, enjoy your time! tongue.gif

that happened to me

i had a double then my roommate moved out after 1 week cuz he found an apartment
so RA told me that i will get a new roommate and i expected one cuz it was still very early in the school year
but i never got one. so i had the double to myself WHOLE year.
it was awesome but after that, i didnt feel like rooming with anyone else so i got a single next year.

im kind of disappointed that i didnt get one cuz i was looking forward to having a roommate my first year but w/e
but yeah, the RA was being weird about me using the other side of the room. she's like YOU CANT USE THAT SIDE. STAY ON YOUR SIDE.
but NO ONE IS USING IT!!!! so retarded. since im a good person i obeyed the rules and got the satisfaction that i had more air to breathe in.

first, they cant bill you for a single because
it was not your intention to single.
so, dont let them try to put that on you.
my school's cheap ass try to do that.

i was a loner for about... 2 weeks too. my first semester.
they roomed me up with two international kids
(just because i was asian. i know it)
and both of them didnt come.

so... i had fun putting on loud music.
and i had fun waking up at my own time.

it was fun.
roomy less or not, college should be fun, right?

have fun.
and i hope that you get a roomy, if you want one.
and if you do get one, hope she aint hecka ghetto bad.

good luck!
take care.

wellz i live in a triple and for the last quarter one roommate dropped out yeah? and my other roommate always stayed at his gf's place so i had a triple to myself, freaking huge. i got lonely =(

but i changed rooms to that room and the roommate i left had the double for himself the entire year which he said was awesome

room mates are overrated.

besides my room mate from freshman year who i got along with splendidly, only because he was pretty much better than me in every aspect and i accepted it pretty quickly, but he was humble and respectable...that was probably what prevented conflicts between us.

anyhow, if you're asian, i wouldn't consider living with someone who is the same nationality as you are. i lived with two friends separately and they develop animosity based on stuff that you own, grades, girlfriends...it's like they hate you for things that they would be congratulating you for if you didn't share the same living space.

screw room mates. i live in a 2 bedroom flat by myself. i like a lot of space, but hate living with people.

Having your own double room is the best. I had a single when I was a freshman, but I shared a bathroom with my neighbor, who was also my friend from high school. He ended up moving out to a dorm closer to campus (we were 10 minutes away from the campus. Yes our dorm was far), so I had 2 single bedrooms and my own bathroom for a semester.

It happens, one of my friends decided to commute instead of dorm because she really didn't like it. She also didn't tell her roommate until the day off...sad I know. Enjoy your alone time, just be prepared to have it taken away I guess.It happens, one of my friends decided to commute instead of dorm because she really didn't like it.

one of my friends went roommate-less two weeks into the school year due to the fact that her roommate got accepted into the sor. the previous year. she like having a roommate, but said living by herself is better, just because the whole room is hers.

i supposed they only pair guy with guy and not girl with guy mwahhaha.

i've just finished my 5th sem. here's how it was for me:
1st sem : practically room-mateless - room-mate stayed in the room very very very seldomly because her house is like right next to the university
2nd sem : room-mate(ful?) - moved to another room with a fellow state-mate, the only time i consider myself having a real room-mate
3rd sem : room-mateless - double room, with only 3 rooms occupied for the whole floor. pretty quite and creepy too, but you get use to it
4th sem - room-mateless - same room.
5th sem - did practical, stayed outside.

at first i didn't like staying alone, but because of the conditions, i later find myself more comfortable being room-mateless. i'll be applying for a single room for the rest of my university life.

ah you are lucky i had a horrible experience with roommate. I don't think many people have roommates as they progress in university... nobody wants one. housemate is fine. stay room-mate less.
emc123
yeah i had that for the summer quarter. got really boring though
Pinkie
so my first semi is almost over and still no roommate in sight ^^ it does get borning but w/e lol... i'm lookin forward for one to come next semi but we'll see if i even get one.. anyways i'll let u guys kno then biggrin.gif
love
oooo. lucky. that happened to this guy in my dorm last year. his roommate just never showed up. he didnt get a new roommate until spring quarter.
i<3ramen
happened to a friend of mine, her roomy didnt show up the first day and she had a room all to herself. but when she used the other bed the RA told her not too or else the school would charge her both sides of the room instead of just one..kinda wierd.
Pinkie
^ yea thats true they could charge u more..

anyways.. i got a roommate like literally 3days before the end of the fall semi... which sucked cuz i was planning on being all excited over the break waiting and hopeing to find out how my roommate is like...

but seriously shes sooo boring! i mean i'm always the one the initial the talking.. and we talk for like 5mins tops.. w/e i only have like 1month left so yea...

my friend however lucked out.. she didnt have a roommate the first semi.. second semi she got one, but the girl moved out after a month or so... >_< luck pinkberry
