When Roommates Aren't Compatible

<p>I have posted on other threads stories of my freshman roommate, who did many of the things that are being complained of (live sex show for the on campus guy, and sexile when the off campus guy from another college came to visit.) It was not until she rearranged the furniture (without my input or consent) from “my side and yours” type to all hers and I couldn’t get out of bed due to the arrangement, did I explode. Explode I did…Fortunately, I was able to move. Yes, if I had been more mature at that age I might have been able to have a nice discussion and tell her what a selfish person i thought she was, but I wasn’t. </p>

<p>Even if 90% of the college kids were hooking up on a nightly basis, that doesn’t mean that the “nun” or “monk” who is not into that lifestyle has to put up with it in the one place that they have to sleep. I don’t understand why one person has a right to throw the other out or make it an unwilling triple. Can’t they find an empty broom closet or hotel room? </p>

<p>BTW, Northstarmom, usually study groups that I was in did not come in drunk in the middle of the night and wake others up. Study groups were arranged in advance, and I would never have wanted one in my bedroom! At the schools that I attended there were rooms in the student centers and libraries and even classroom buildings that could be used for study groups</p>
