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 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.

Why is this topic requiring anonymous tag on it if you're merely voicing aloud?
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.

I didn't pick my roommate. I was sent a letter telling me who she is today...
