I did my first last night.<BR/><BR/>Everyone I heard from (back when I still thought I was going to UNH) said Dover was where the grad students went. And I think "quaint" is the word for Portsmouth. Like if you have a kid move to Portsmouth and put a swing in the backyard. But obviously I was just getting impressions as I haven't even been to NH!<BR/><BR/>I know people who've gotten good roommates off craigslist (chicago and nyc of all places) but it still seems strange to me.<BR/><BR/>Of random roommates I've had 4/5 good ones. All except the loony uptight one from Belfast. Then 2 of us ganged up on her and made her cry, life got better then b/c she avoided us. Sad, but true. <BR/><BR/>Worst case senario: bad roommates are novel fodder.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18382258703126540760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1299583108770114866.post-16874508587802445002008-06-06T10:12:00.000-04:002008-06-06T10:12:00.000-04:00OMG!

Short of that I think their charm can be resisted! (At least for me.)<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the roommate scenario. Except for one of my freshman roommates (who met guys on the internet who she invited to come stay in our dorm room and have violent sex that left scratches on her back!) all my random-roommate situations have worked out well. I think most people can be tolerable to live with and you sound easy-going, which I think is key.margositahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06432497140892679276noreply@blogger.com
