<p>To the OP…</p>
<p>Did your roommate ever come back?</p>
<p>"I’m glad that I’ve never lived in a community full of hokegoalies. "</p>
<p>People in touch with reality?</p>
<p>Yea, I’d hate to live in that type of enviorment too. Living in a sheltered world of control is always more fun.</p>
<p>Yawn…</p>
<p>Keep the hyperbole coming…</p>
<p>I’ve stayed gone overnight on several occasions without telling my roommate. But my roomie goes to sleep at 9pm every night so he normally doesn’t find out until he wakes up</p>
<p>hokegoalie I’m totally with you on this one man…your roommate isn’t your relative, bff, or *<strong><em>buddy. He/she is an independent person who is perfectly capable of taking care of his/herself. Besides, if he/she ever needs you, then the roommate can call you on your cell and and you wouldn’t need to worry about him/her. If your roommate doesn’t give a *</em></strong> about informing you of his/her whereabouts, then you shouldn’t give a **** trying either. It’s all about the level of the relationship you have with your roommate I guess but generally, you should think/live/go about your life on your own terms.</p>
<p>I support hokegoalie as well. You are not your roomate’s mother. If the roomate didn’t tell you where they were going, then it’s not up to you to investigate them.</p>
<p>I certainly hope if I am missing from my room for a few days, whether gone home without telling anyone or dead, that my roommate takes a minute or two to call my cell or ask around.
It wouldn’t be a huge hassle to me to pick up the phone if I’ve gone home, but if I’m dead in a ditch somewhere, hopefully they’ll find the body.</p>
<p>^ seriously. I’m going to make a point of telling my roommate to do that for me. =</p>
<p>I agree molly. Just calling to say hi is alot easier than dealing with a deadly alternative.</p>
<p>I advise all of you to at least share your phone number with your roomate, no matter how close you are. Even if you hate your roomate, just knowing that they’re alright shouldn’t be that hard to do.</p>
<p>I’d ask around or maybe call after a while…sure…but I’m not their momma. They need to learn how to be responsible for themselves at some point, you know. I’ve got enough on my plate just taking care of myself, so yeah.</p>
<p>^ Exactly. I’m sorry but i’m usually too busy myself… and too busy taking care of myself… I would start to wonder prob after the first night they don’t come back but i will just start asking around alittle…</p>
<p>A msg would take you less than 10 seconds to send.</p>
<p>I love this. People would rather have their roommate be missing for days later then they should be in order not to “interfere” with their independence. I find that priceless and terrifying at the same time.</p>
<p>I think the point isn’t that you shouldn’t care about your roomate, but that there’s a limit to how much you can play it safe. What’s next, saying professors or students should worry about that random kid in lecture who suddenly doesn’t show up for a month? Maybe they just dropped the class or were lazy, or maybe they really were in some danger. You never know what might happen, but it would be absurd to always assume the worst.</p>
<p>a text message takes 20 seconds to write and send, if even that. dont be jacka$$es. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I understand what you’re saying, but a professor-student relationship isn’t the same. if you sleep in the same room every night with someone, and then they don’t show up all of a sudden, wouldn’t you notice, and at least wonder “hmm…____isn’t here”</p>
<p>Has the OP gone missing too??</p>
<p>Okay, it’s official. I now have a single. My RA came by today and told me my roomie has officially switched rooms. I’m kinda ****ed the kid didn’t just tell me. He’s also moving his stuff little by little, and only when I’m not in the room. I think he’s trying to dodge me or something.</p>
<p>why be mad? Outta sight and outta mind at this point in time. Seems like a bad match. You win with your single.</p>
<p>I’m not *<strong><em>ed that he’s leaving, I’m *</em></strong>ed at how childish he was about the whole thing. I mean he could have just told me. Also, I might get another roomate though. I guess a lot of people on the third floor want to be on the 2nd floor.</p>
<p>my brother only saw his roomate three times one semester. he said they only had one conversation all semester as well.</p>
