Roomate problems--with a twist

Lack of communication is not necessarily the reason for the move- I had several nice roommates in college I merely shared space with and it worked out fine. My first freshman roommate announced she wanted her first choice dorm and was on the waiting list for it, it was a blessing when she was able to move soon thereafter (I was in my first choice).

Good for the former roomie- she took advantage of the ability to move in with a friend at a good time to do it. Panera student/mom need a reality check. It would be interesting to find out how she fares with her second year housing- single room/apt or another poor random roommate seems in the works as I doubt she’ll find a willing roommate.

Son had two roommates his freshman year- the first did a semester “abroad” (at a Utah school with skiing as the main objective, with transferable credits) and the second was a transfer who spent most of his time at his girlfriend’s apartment. Strange for son who turned 17 the fall of freshman year- didn’t even have a typical first year of college. He couldn’t move to an apartment second year (underage- apartment managers would not allow it even if we did, we did not) but did room with someone he knew (most returning students went to apartments instead of dorms there).
