[quote=Anonymous]I lived with a random assigned roommate for a few months freshman year. It was a disaster.  She moved out to be with a more compatible friend, leaving me with a single, yay! There were offenses on both sides, but I will talk about hers: She ate extremely stinky food in the room, and didn't dispose of food trash outside the room. She smelled bad. She once had a guy over -- they were doing it, and didnt lock the door - I walked in and got an eyeful.  Not that matters anymore, but we had nothing in common, no chance at being friends, and I found her repulsive on a gut level.

OK, fine, the stuff I did that I remember she complained about: I once had a friend in our room who would not shut up (it was a female acquaintance I did not invite, probably histrionic, definitely alarming, and I was at a loss to get rid of her for approx 30 mins-- but imagine being THAT chick's roommate). I broke my own glass bottle of perfume, cleaned up right away, but it smelled strongly for a day. I went out drinking, came home late often. I had a bf, but he only came over if roommate told me she was going home for a weekend.

We had a meeting with RA and hashed it out, she came up with rooming with her friend, so it ended all right.

Since then, I have lIved with roommates, but never, ever, with a random person with no connection. I have always lived with friends (that doesn't always go well either, but it's educational) or people that I at least interviewed and had mutual friends with. I honestly don't think it's a natural state of affairs to live with randoms.[/quote]
