My buddy and I are going to the same college and he wants to room with me. Not really sure what I wanna do. The kids chill and pretty funny but he can be annoying at times. Anyone ever done this? How did it work out?

Do it, you'll most likely get some piece of shit anyways.

Don't do it unless you guys are a full out team. My brother and his friend are having the same dilemma, and i could see it working for them cause they would be in suite style rooms, and literally are like the ultimate bromance. I think the thing you should watch out for the most (because its not likely that you would somehow get a roommate that doesn't get annoying at all) is whether or not you want to get away from your original roots and the town and people you (I'm presuming) are leaving, or if you would be okay with keeping that kind of connection.

Personally, I wouldn't do it cause I am so amped to get out of my town and have a fresh start, but that all depends right?

This is gonna go one of two ways:


A. You're gonna learn to like him and become friends.
B. You're gonna hate his guts.


Since roommates tend to get annoyed with each other no matter what, you're probably gonna hate his guts. But hey, at least you know him and you're not going to get some dirty thief.

unless you two are real bros, expect one of you to become the bitch...

dont do it. I'm looking for apartments to rent as well, and I personally wouldn't move in together with someone I dont feel too certain about who I know from before. I would most likely feel forced to hang out with him since we know each other from before, and just be even more annoyed with him because of that.

I'd rather go with a stranger in that case, just keeping my fingers crossed he won't kill me or pee in my butt when I'm sleeping heh.

Live with someone random instead, college is about meeting new people and experiencing new shit, right?

find someone else because then you definately wont hate the guy you know, and iyoull have at least one friend. its hard to live with someone for a long time and not hate them

It either works or it doesn't. no way for us to tell.

consider factors like this:
1) how clean and organized you are vs. he
2) time you like to sleep and his time
3) his respect for your stuff

things like that, socially it doesn't matter at all, what makes or breaks it is how well both your routines and habits jive

I say go for it. When I went to college I didn't know a single person, but I joined the class of 2012 group on facebook for my school and met a kid on there and we decided to room together. I didn't like the idea of rooming with a complete random. There are plenty of cool kids at all schools, but there's an equal chance that you'll end up with someone you absolutely cannot stand.

The two of us are still tight friends to this day, so it worked out.
