Can you choose your roommate in college?

it depends on the school. most colleges let you, but its never guaranteed. there will be an option on the housing application for roommate selection if so. You and your future roommate will both have to select each other to have a chance at being roommates. gl at college!

Damn, stop being so scared. Who cares what your roomates think? Just come out. If they are stupid enough to think you are always checking them out then screw them. Get a different roommate. Im sure there are campus counsellors or professors you can talk to if they do start bothering you because that's not allowed and it will stop if enough action is taken. But I dont think you should worry about that. You have to be who you are. Why hide? You will feel so much better.\nCome out of that closet!

College changed my life. It opens your eyes, and it's the sweetest life experience. I never lived in dorms, but I've been told that you really bond with roommates, and more often than not you find life long friends in there. Professors: the range is as wide as it can be, you'll have the ones you totally hate, and the ones you just fall in love with. Occasionally you'll get both extremes merged in one prof. Activities, classes, and students are all relative to your major and what school you're going to. I went to a public university and it was awesome. That's the one place where no matter where you're from, you're all the same.

I'm not sure, but my friend, who is 17, got to pick who she lived with when she was 13 I think; ultimately, she chose her mother's house because it was closer and she preferred her mother, but if the child has no immediate family, then I don't see any reason why he/she shouldn't be able to live with another relative.

She is responsible for the entire share of rent by the end of term of the lease. She can try to find a suitable replacement, but it would have to be with you and your other roommate's consent. She can't find some felon and expect you guys to be fine with that! Take her to court if she doesn't pay....nothing personal, it's just money.

I assume you are asking about other roommates that don't pull their weight. I've had the same problem, if this is the case. I just do it and I don't complain. It puts a guilt trip on them and then they start pitching in.

nothings wrong with you, you're roommates.\n\nOften friends do not make the best roommates, though kudos to those who do.

It varies by college, but standard is usually one room shared by two students.  A suite is sometimes two rooms shared by two students, with one common room and one bedroom, but sometimes it is two connected rooms, with one room for each student, and sometimes it is three connected rooms shared by three students.  A quad is usually four bedrooms, with one common room, but sometimes it is just four connected rooms.  \n\nIf you are a new student, a standard room is usually the way to go.  Suites are generally taken by 2nd, 3rd and 4th year students, as are quads.  This is because they already have friends (in configurations of twos, threes, and fours) they want to room with.\n\nA standard room will also guarantee that you only have one roommate, and one roommate is plenty to deal with during your first year.\n\nBest wishes!

what your roomate is not aware of will not kill him/her...1 of the many things that is learned in college is how to have sex in a room with someone else in it....anyone who has gone to college has been there done that! HOWEVER, what so much free "love" on campus, there is no need for sex to be solo....anyway, be respectful enough to do it while roomate is sleep, and try not to scream or moan...what goes on in college, STAYS in college :-)

You'll have to ask the college. Maybe the counselor.

try rent.com roommates section or roommates.com or even Craigslist.com.  This was you can chat online until you feel safe to meet, meet face to face, and then decide.  \n\nYou are over exxagerating the potential "creepiness" of a roommate too...those people exist, sure, but are few and far between.

Ugggh.  I would hate having him as a roommate, but I guess one benefit is I could use his hair products.  I can't think of anything else, though.

First, this has nothing to do with "squatters right".\nThe person you are talking about is an Invitee of your roommate not a squatter. \n\nA squatter is a person who lives on some property without owners consent.\n\nThat person you are talking about only has right to live in the house to which he has no title if he is INVITED, if neither you nor your roommate invite him in -- he has no right to stay, and no legal action.\n\nNow the question becomes MUCH harder if your roommate invites him in, but you are against it. \nIN this case it will depend on what type of ownership you and your roommate have. \nUsually the roommates rent the house as "tenants in common" if this is is. Each tenant has right to the ENTIRE house and he may invite whomever he want.\nNow if your roommates makes your living condition SO UNBEARABLE that you cannot live in the house anymore then you might have action for constructive eviction(this is very unlikely).\n\nHowever if you are the main owner and your roommate is not on the lease then you can evict them both.

Well you can pick and choose. They all like you so which ever one you pick will be happy to date you.

I would say yes, but only if the person is willing to try to "speak up more."  If the person is shy, but wants to be more friendly, if they try, they will certainly make a lot of friends living in the dorms.  That certainly happened to me.  One of my best friends is my freshman-year dorm roommate (and I just graduated this year).  We were both so shy that we didn't talk to each other at all, just polite "hello" and "goodbye" for the first week-- then eventually we got over it and started talking more, and became really good friends.  So, in my case it really helped me.\n\nHowever, there are also people who are very antisocial and are thrown into that sort of situation and revert even more to their shyness.  This is why I say that the person being put into this situation should probably WANT to make new friends, so that they eventually put the effort into that and try, instead of just closing themselves off even more.\n\nAll in all, it's the sort of experience that you don't really get many other times in life, and is certainly worth going through for experience sake.  It's a chance to sort of recreate how other people know you-- you don't have the same people around you who have known you your entire life (like you do in high school).  That makes a lot of people more comfortable, because you get to sort of start a new leaf... and you don't have to be afraid what such-and-such person will think.  This in turn makes people more likely to "speak up," in my experience.\n\nHopefully that made sense.
