Living with a roommate
I would like living with a roommate...

Well I haven't had to live with someone else before other than my relatives so it will definitely be an adjustment.

I am actually looking for a room, or roommate interested


PS.
I am new here =)

roommates can be really great or really awful. kind of luck of the draw. just be flexible and dont take things too seriously and you should be fine. also speak up if you don't like something your roommate does or doesn't do- right away. when you let stuff build up, if always ends up exploding.

I think my biggest challenge is going to be adjusting to the new social and physical environment. I'm from MD and I'll be going to school in Jersey this Fall. I don't know anyone there and I don't know much about the area so it'll take some time to adjust to the people/environment. Hopefully I'll get used to it pretty quick. After that I guess balancing my school work wit my social life. I've been sheltered a lot through highschool so I'll probably be a little wild. The last thing I'm worried about is money. It's gonna be hard not being able to ask my mom for money whenever I need it. The other things don't worry me to much. I just hope I get a good roommate.
