Whatever happened to just getting the roommates you're assigned? I'm seeing all these boards on websites of people being 'scared' they're going to room with someone who is different than them. It's like everyone has control issues or something...

You've obviously never had a bad roommate experience. I have horror stories that would scare little kids..

You've obviously never had a bad roommate experience. I have horror stories that would scare little kids..

Check out the thread "I just got my acceptance letter." I actually talk about 2 of my roommates on the CP who were horrible. It's not the end of the world to have a roommate you don't like. Sure it sucked to have smelly stalker roommates who stole from me, but now its laughable. I can understand why people would want to be cautious of who they room with... but part of the CP's purpose is to get you away from your comfort zone so you can grow. I'm not condemning those who want to find roommates before they get down there... :wave:

2 Living Seas interns looking for a third roommate. Guy or girl. Prefer an animal programs intern, but open to all replies! This is for a 3 bedroom townhouse only 7 miles from disney. (Northbridge is about 20 miles away!) It's called Fiesta Key. You'll have your own room for about $400/month including utilities. Rent alone will be $333 each. There is a pool and fitness center there and the complex was just built 2 years ago. Comes fully furnished.

looking for the following criteria in a roomie:
- prefer somebody over age 21
- non-smoker!!!
- no heavy partiers. social drinker okay, but not looking for someone who brings parties home or who goes out every night
- somebody who is respectful, responsible and considerate (don't leave the toilet seat up, pick-up after yourself in common areas, and don't leave the tv blaring when others are sleeping, don't eat all our food, etc.) This is a BIGGIE. Please only reply if you truly believe that you are ultra considerate.
- no loud "bedroom noises" afterhours.. just be considerate.
- need to have good credit and be able to pay rent on-time, without fail.
- must like cats.. we might get a kitten!
- someone with a good sense of humor.

Please e-mail me at karolina.kaminski@gmail.com. Feel free to tell me about yourself, what internship you're doing, what you look for/don't like in roommates, etc. or even direct me to your wdwmagic survey if you've posted one. Sorry if this ad sounds picky but we really want to have all of the housemates have shared values, respect eachother, and get along! Hope to hear from you!
