I had a roommate my freshman year that was nuts too! She was completely shelfish-- she would watch TV ALL day (and of course only what SHE wanted to watch) so I couldn't listen to music, or anything. And she'd constantly tie up the phone in our room so I could never use it. And she'd sleep weird hours, so I had to tip toe around her trying not to wake her up-- but she never gave me the same courtesy. She'd have guests whenever she wanted. We fought constantly-- and she spread rumors around the dorm about how hard I was to live with!!!! What a joke.

I eventually "chased her out". LOL. I made it so uncomfortable for her to be there, that she finally asked for a transfer after about a month of living together. I had my room all to myself for the rest of the first semester. Then, when I heard they were going to put someone else in, when the spring semester started, I asked my friend that lived upstairs (who also didn't like her roommate) to move in with me. She did! We've been best friends ever since.

My advice is, if you can't talk to her and come to an agreement by setting room rules, etc.,  to try to get another roommate or transfer to another room. It's not worth being completely miserable for the whole year and things can get UGLY. I had a friend who worked as an RA in another dorm, one girl got so mad at her roommate that she poured a jug of water into her TV set!!!!!!! Let's just say they definately had to call in backup to break up the fight!

Hey well Im goin to Bowie in the fall and I still havent found a roommate yet. Im kinda nervous right now about having to share my space with someone. Wish me luck

I am really sorry for you......this is a stressful situation..i think that the best think to do is to change your room because it is will not only  affect your well being , but also your school results

my freshman year, i had a roomate who was the true definition of crazy.  she would go through my dirty laundry, reorganize things on my dresser, and reorganize my closet without my permission...1 day i told her to quit touching my things and she basically went off the deep end. She would go in my dresser and hide my jewelry in the room and a whole bunch of other crazy stuff. So i contacted an RA and they made us write up a contract and who ever broke that contract was to move out of the room. So, we got into a crazy argument the week after that and she decides to grab a pair of scizzors and tried to attack me with the scizzors! Thank goodness my other friends were in the room and they stopped her and called Res-Life b4 anything could happend. She was kicked out of the dormitory and suspended from school and is now on the tresspassing list. crazy story but true. if your roomie isnt as crazy as mines was... just contact your RA and have her make you guys sign a contract and who ever breaks that contract should be moved out of the room.

All you have to do is sit down  with your roommate one day and have a long conversation with them about what your issue is with them.......this might definitely help with your problem. (be assertive, but gentle)   :)

Talk to your roommate. You shouldn't bottle everything inside, because it will build up one day it will all explode and its going to be a huge fight.

As a former resident assistant, I can't tell you how many people have gone through similar situations like you. I too had a less than tolerable roomate and suitmates. My suggestion is to talk to her/him. If nothing can be resolved talk to your resident assistant. They are paid to be a resource to you. If all else fails, ask for a room change.

Well, my room mate is how should I put it mostly  insane! She has major mood swings, like one minute she's happy her life, the next pissed off as **ll,sssssssssooo. So she needs anger management classes, put it this way she trashed the entire house ( 3 roomates, and me) to find her lucky go bracelet claiming one of us had it then she thought to look in her jewelry box, and oh my gosh duh! it was there! Genius, really no. I have a feeling either one of us going to lose it and kill her. Then she all like i'm so sorry apologizes, and she lies alot. Like she says let me borrow this, crazy roomate is #3, So roomate #2 is llike no. and shes all like well I let you borrow my flip-flops. And roomate # 2 is like um I don't like wearing flip flops. And then she is like no i remember you doing it. Alzmirs! (shortened it) Then she goes on how we need to admit the truth and communicate. She asks if roomate #2 needs to see a shrink, Roomate #2 says more like you need it.  Lucky for us this is her last semester and then shes going to another school! see ya later not! this is going to be a long semester.

my roommate for the first  semester was cool at first. she was like my best friend. we did everything togrhter and i didnt even kno her!

 eventually that became the problem.  she was sooooo dirrrty and she didnt clean up after herself and expected me to be her mom there. i mean even when i told her my family was coming to visit she still didnt clean up and had some lame excuse as to why. she partied with other people she didnt know, almost cheated on her fiance and was just really terrble. i tried to work it out with her and told her what she was doing that i didnt like. she didnt act right so i found another room mate.

my advice is if you cant solve the problems get another roomie!

 No matter what, you HAVE to talk to your roommate.  I spent a year at college with a roommate who told me not to disturb him when he was sleeping and would go CRAZY if I did.  Well, he slept all the time (literally) so by the end of the year, so did I, I was so depressed.  Needless to say, I ended up with terrible grades and became very depressed.  (The fact most of the college was totally bigoted and I'm not didn't help.)  My parents won't let me go back there, and actually I'm pretty OK with that, but I'd rather it was MY decision, not theirs.  

SO  STAND UP FOR YOURSELF AND DO WHATS BEST FOR YOU.
