I think there was another thread like this that had some really good stories in it. I'm currently looking for a roomate so sometimes these are good learning tools!

I had a terrible roommate my freshman year. I truly believe the admissions people picked the two most opposite people in the apps and decided to see how funny it might get. I'm not religious but I am not an atheist either. However, my roommate was a true blue born again Christian. The Christian sayings all over the room didn't even bother me. I wasn't offended even when she said it's unfortunate I was a democrat.

ETA: I once asked her why she was always smiling and perky. She told me that no one should ever see her sad and that regardless of how upset she was, she "needed to always be smiling".

Have you ever been with someone (as in, knew them or were talking to them) who was bi-polar during their manic period? This is how she was all the time.

During my freshman year, I got shoehorned into a "crowded double" - i.e. they stick 3 people in a room intended as a double.

Roommate #1 and I had the same first name. Whenever anyone called to talk to either of us, she ASSumed the call was for her - "Oh hiiiiiiiiiiiiii!". She's also one of those people who won't admit she doesn't know who the person on the other end is (no caller ID) so she'd spin them out until she figured out who they were. She once talked to one of my sorority sisters for five minutes before she figured out she was from my sorority, not hers.

Roommate #2 was cool until she started dating the guy down the hall. We'd established a "no sexile" rule - no overnight male guests - but she would constantly be making out with him in our room, in his room, in the floor lounge, etc. It was very disgusting. And then she'd get all huffy when Roommate #1 or I asked him to leave because we wanted to sleep.

And, Roommate #2's boyfriend was a racist. He poisoned both my roommates' minds. It wasn't long before they wouldn't give me the time of day.

The up side to this was that I landed a sweet single mid-spring-semester (and freshmen do NOT get singles in that dorm) and the "twins" had to move to a different floor, because if they'd stayed on the same floor, they would be in a crowded double again with some random frosh. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

My freshman year there was a "crowded double" down the hall from me who had three Jessicas living in it. My floor had around 25 girls living on it, and there were 10 Jessicas. It was insane.

I only had roommates for my freshman year. And I have no weird stories, other than my roommate stole a bunch of my makeup, and the turned around and used it to ruin a bunch of my clothes.
