| FlashFour, I was EXACTLY like you are. Possibly worse. I know it's hard to believe when people say they understand but I really do. It's not honestly possible for a freshman. Some people end up with them but it's completely pot luck. I think there are 2 on my floor, within suites. I'm ok with it now, but it took me most of first semester to get used to and that's with a really great roommate.
One thing I can suggest is I have a friend who hung a curtain around his bed that he could draw closed when he wanted personal space. I think he put string through some sort of things he attached to the ceiling and hung the curtain on it. It's simpler than it sounds. I'm probably going to do that next year. I also have a friend who changed rooms because she didn't mesh well with her roomate. Unfortunately that's about all you can do. You can arrange your furniture and stuff for a bit of privacy too I guess.
Also the person who asked, you are guaranteed housing for all 4 years as long as you do things on time and don't commit too many offenses. |
