Yes. You're better off rooming with a stranger most of the time. Friends from high school tend to take advantage of each other, and resentments can build. There are ALWAYS exceptions to the rule, of course.
Second - Treat your roommate(s) with respect, assume nothing, and share the space fairly. It will help in the long run.
Yeah I feel like it would be good to live with a random person my first year because I can meet new people and I didn't really want to live with these guys that wanted me to live with them and they probably won't be able to afford the place I want to live at.
I'm definitely nervous about get a roommate and absolutely hating him or vise versa
50/50 shot that it works. Usually better odds than if you know them though. I always say, you can survive anything for a year (within typical reason).
I thought you were living in Boone, is that still the case?
I thought it was scalding hot BBQ though. An old lady got 1MM dollars from McDonalds for hot coffee spilling on her groin.
That's one of the risks but it can also end up being a reward. You learn to make it work.
I'm living in Ames at Stadium view. They have a roommate matching website which is really nice.
I had different roommates for my first two semesters (summer and fall after high school). I got their phone numbers, talked to them ahead of time so we could coordinate the large items (couch, tv, fridge) and we were good. You will obviously have more opportunities to exchange information than I did.
My first roommate was ok. We didn't really hang out a lot, but I didn't really spend a lot of time in my room between classes, work and parties. Having to deal with some differences helped me grow as a person and opened my eyes up to other opinions. It was good for me.
My fall roommate was awesome and ended up being one of my best friends throughout college. My sisters had a few horror stories with their roommates, but most of the guys I knew were able to roll with whatever situation they had.
Whatever you decide, I'd advise branching out from your high school friends. You can always connect with them, but there's a good chance you'll encounter others that have similar interests and end up finding closer friends that you thought you would.
I saw a number of people that stayed with their high school cliques once they got to college and felt that they were really missing out on one of the best parts of college. You'll never again be in a scenario where you are surrounded by 30,000 people your age that are going through the same thing that you are. Not taking advantage of learning from other people's experiences and cultures is not getting the most out of college, IMO.
Desiigners post roommate posts are giving me bad flashbacks to dorm house roommates.
- Freshman year: Creepy dude from CR. Architect student. Good news is he was home every weekend and I had the room to myself
- Sophomore year: Arrogant architect student that talked baby talk with his girlfriend who practically lived in our room. We hated each other. He owns his own big ass architect office now and I am guessing he believes I probably died in bar or something.
- Sophomore year Part II: The "Gabes" from DSM. He was cool.
- Junior year: Another ass-hole, this one from NY. Architect student. WTF is with all of these architects?
Definitely find out a few basics before they move in. Like boxster mentioned, if they have a sig other, you have a good chance to have 2 roomies and not just one. That happened to me one year. What are their habits? I had one who would wake up when i got back from class and be coming back when I woke up. What do they eat? There were some neighbors (never saw them so I have no idea who they were) but our whole apartment floor smelt like whatever they were cookin' and it wasn't to my liking.
You not finish your bachelors at ISU, boxster? I see you stopped after Junior year.
I had one roomie my first semester of freshman year, he flunked out. Solo for rest of year.
Second year had one roommate of a brother on the floor. He flunked out after the year.
Next year I had two roomies in a triple, they both failed out and I moved off campus for next year.
Fourth year, off campus, 3 guys in two bedroom. One flunks out at semester. Get a new one and he brings his gf with basically. Other roommate flunks out after second semester.
So for last semester I moved with the one who moved in at semester and his now fiance to Huxley. He had graduated. I graduate and leave at semester.
Both my dorm roommates moved into their sororities at break. Boom, single room for spring semester. Twas nice.
Randoms in Freddy (do not recommend) - the version of CG Pants likes in the Cave came out once and probably made nasty roommate cry after she semi-threatened me. The other random (who I liked) had left at Xmas cause she couldn't stand this person either. Found out from other roomie (who was sort of nasty's friend) that nasty roommate had physically hit "friends" on more than one occasion. Luckily this happened dead week of spring so we didn't have to interact much after that.
Senior year lived with BFF and her fiance. We were all so busy that BFF and I saw each other more in class than we did at home. Worked out great though.
oh yeah, stayed in Freddy for a summer and my roommate moved in about 2am on a Monday morning. I had 8am class. No that's fine, please unpack your pots and pans IN THE BEDROOM while also web chatting with your boyfriend, with the light on. I was such a pushover and tried to sleep through it. I'd love to relive that moment so I could be like what the **** are you doing, it's the middle of the night, now GTFO and turn the light off!
Dh had fairly typically ones save for the one who would steal his socks, wear them to Lied, then leave them on the floor, dirty. When confronted, he claimed someone must have broken into their dorm to steal the socks. And then return them.

I was definitely always hanging out in DH's room, I now realize I was that girl. It annoyed me cause I had my own room for those two semesters but DH had a desktop and lots of computer-based homework so he didn't want to come down to my room much. Whereas 2nd year I had a laptop. I tried to be inconspicuous but I'm sure looking back DH's roommates were like gah, she's here again.
Moral of the story is don't be BCCLone's roommate
