I amhaving roommate issues right now. They actually reported me for soemthing incredibly petty, and called me lazy, because they don't see all the cleaning I do, and I don't always tell them. They come in and it's ike the fairy was around.
I had to go talk with the dean of housing the other day, and explain what was going on. I am also ten years older than most of my roomies, and they really don't make a huge effort with me, as I have with them.
It's very frustrating come finals week when they decide something is wrong, and go over your head without even consulting with you first. Especally when you've checked with them about living situation stuff multiple times. My own personal feeling is get a single if you can afford it. I am thinking about transferring undergrads to a campus that has single furnished units I can actually afford as on campus housing.
I love my roommates and help them when they are in jams, but I was feeling tension for weeks, and no one said a darn thing. I kept asking, I'd rather know. So I am goign to try one more semester of the current living situation with different roomies, but if that is till the issue, no thanks I'll transfer.
Seriously I have come home to massive messes such as trash all over, and had to pick it u so I didn't throw up at the smell. All the dishes dirty int he whole house in different places and stacked int he sink. I figured they were younger and I'd jsut do it, because I remember I wasn't the most responsible person at their age. So I did tons around here, and so it became they only noticed the few times I simply could not.
So far roomie living is leaving me a bad taste. I have forgiven them, but just am not engaging anymore.
Okay sorry it turned into a vent, but just to let you know, if it were me I'd do the single apartment thing no housing/roomie issues.
PS i love my school, but if living is untennable, it definitely can affet my performance. Small classes really great supportive profs. Ireally hope that next time is better, would hate to leave over living situations.
