I think some people in my college (freshman '12) are picking roomates from facebook .. it's not that i find it abnormal or anything, but it sounds a little weird to me just cause it's facebook & i guess i dont want to blame myself for picking a bad roomate lol. Adding people & saying what's up is not really my style (& i dont mean it in a cocky way at all).

But, should i be doing this? I'd rather have the college pick my roomate and have it be a surprise, but am i being left out of having friends before school starts?

Well I guess you could probably join a group and talk to people but you don't necessarily have to choose a roommate over facebook :P

I wouldn't. haha

I spoke to loads of people I'd be living with on facebook before I went to university. It's a good idea actually.

I'm currently talking to a few people on Facebook who will be going to my university next year, but I want my roommate to be completely random. Like you said, I don't want it to be my fault if I end up hating the roommate I'm stuck with for the entire year.

you dont have to pick a roommate but i think it would be a good idea to just start talkin to a few ppl. im goin out of state so i tried to make a couple of friends before hand and i made a few good ones that i actually already talk on the phone with so it could be a good idea.

It was still pretty random for me and my roommate. We were at a scholarship day and asked if we were looking for roomies. She doesn't drink or smoke, I know she studies, which means that she will let me get my stuff done. We didn't know each other at all, but picked to be roomies-at least I know its someone thats not the total opposite of me.

And I added a bunch of other freshman on facebook--kinda get to know people, find out if we have classes together, find carpools! and I think a group of us are going to a concert right before we move in to get to know each other more.
