<p>im confused to whether put yes no or no preferences. i honestly dont mind it but im afraid that if i put yes i mite get some crazy party guy and if i put no i might get some nerdy dude. idk wat to put. what would you recommend??</p>
<p>If you’re under 21 you can’t drink anywhere on campus, and if you are 21+ you can if I remember right only drink in places that sell alcohol, I-House, and The Village but I could be wrong about that. I don’t know why they would put that question on a warren housing app though because you can’t drink anywhere in there.</p>
<p>I put no and I ended up with suitemates that still partied :D! A lot of people that I know who put yes ended up with CRAZY partiers… It all depends on your luck, though.</p>
<p>I was in the exact same situation that you’re in lifeistough. I don’t drink at all but I’m fine with people who do. I put no preference and looking back I guess I probably should have put no. Either way, you’ll find the people who are your friends eventually and be hanging out with them. You’re not forced to hang out with your suite if it doesn’t end up working out.</p>
<p>I don’t know very many people at UCSD who are CRAZY partiers. Chances are you’ll get someone who is fine with an occasional drink but is also into studying… since that takes up most of your time anyway.</p>
<p>so would you all recommend yes? i really wanna have a good time in college and don wanna end up gettin some nerdy/boring person, but at the same time don want a crazy partier…lol</p>
<p>^Sounds like you should put yes or no preference then. “Nerdy/boring” is really a relative term though because I didn’t want to end up with boring people, but when I got here I realized that most people would call me boring just because I don’t drink. Also, it’s really a strange question since it’s illegal for anybody under 21 to drink yet they acknowledge that it happens.</p>
<p>Put yes, and don’t be surprised to deal with drunken roommates disturbing your sleep and study, being obnoxious and disruptive, p!ssing off you and your guests… or cleaning up someone else’s puke at one point, or dealing with the consequences of RSOs scrutinizing your room and writing you up for your roommate’s alcohol possession (apparently, if your roommate has alcohol in the dorm, some RSOs write both of you up regardless). </p>
<p>Put no, and don’t be surprised to deal with an anti-social, awkward, unexciting roommate who inspires nothing in you and is a complete waste of your social capital and should not even be seen with. This person might make you regret never having had a true “college roommate” experience and even be so weird or withdrawn that you’re uncomfortable in your own dorm. </p>
<p>Looking at these two worst-case extremes, I think you can eliminate the one that’s a big, fat no-no for you and choose the other one. In the end, your roommate will probably be neither extreme, so just be flexible and deal accordingly when the time comes.</p>
<p>if this helps, im putting no preference on mine. i confess that i have drunk before, but to a point where im just buzzed. ive never been drunk and i dont plan to get drunk in the future. ive dealt with people who were really drunk, so i know what goes on if i get a roommate who drinks. the reason why im putting no preference is that i know that it is real unlikely for me to get a die hard party roommate. i mean, it is UCSD (not saying its socially dead or not a party school or anything like that, im saying its not SDSU status and what not), so the chances of getting a heavy drinker and party person seems real unlikely for me. i wouldnt mind going to some parties every now and then and enjoying drinks at them or in games haha</p>
<p>i’m in warren too and i put no preference.
i think it’s a good inbetween.
cause yeah i drink/party sometimes, but i also study when i need to.</p>
<p>honestly, the preferences don’t mean much.</p>
<p>i had one dumb ass roommate who put that he is very clean, doesn’t like to study with music, isn’t tolerant of alcohol use, doesn’t want guests over, etc., and i put the same things, and guess what… he was dirty as *<strong><em>, studied with music loud as *</em></strong>, partied hard every day, and had guests over all the time.</p>
<p>people lie all the time about that ****.</p>
<p>^Which completely defeats the purpose of it obviously. I will say though, I know exactly why I got paired up with my roommates and we had a lot match up on our preference lists. Needless to say, my roommates and I didn’t really turn out to be friends. But, one of my other suitemates and I are best friends now.</p>
