Moving in with random roommates.

  1. Hey GC, 
     
    I'm going into my sophomore year of college here in Texas and am moving off campus. I move into a 4 bed/2 bath apartment next Wednesday and have been assigned 3 random roommates. The 4 of us have exchanged a few texts talking about basic roommate stuff like who is bringing what and what time we're going down. So far they all seem pretty cool based on what we've talked about through texts but I'm still a little weary about the situation. 
     
    I've read the best and worst situations and gotta admit I'm a bit nervous. Reading stories online probably didn't help. You read about 3 random roommates becoming best friends and moving together the next year, but you also read about the weird dude who watches cartoon porn all day and fantasizes about shit like Columbine. We're all 18-19 and I'm sure things will work out fine, but have any of you guys experienced being matched with random roommates? In no way am I socially awkward or anything I'm just a little nervous moving in with strangers and all. 
     
    Also, to keep it weed related I'd like some more advice. I'm gonna feel out the situation for a week or 2 and get to know them and see if they're cool with smoking. I've got a vaporizer I'm bringing and have my own room but am a little hesitant about having weed in there. I plan on toking at night after class and work and will probably get one of those Smoke Buddy sploofs also. I'd be doing it in my room in secret until I find out if they're cool with it and will buy some Fabreeze too, but would you guys be a little cautious? Like I said we're all college aged kids so I'm sure it won't be a problem, but Texas is pretty conservative and I'd hate getting some stuck up guy who will call the police or run to the landlord if I'm vaping in my room. 
     
    Any tips on finding out if they're cool with weed or advice on living with random roommates? I'm pretty outgoing and wanna become friends with these guys, and also would love to smoke in my apartment and hope they're cool with it.
     
    Appreciate any help, thanks blades.

     
  2. The easiest way is to ask if they party. You can dig deeper by asking if they smoke or drink and you should find your answer.
     
  3. I wouldn't rush into anything. Make sure you have all your bases covered if you are going to be smoking in the room. Air freshner, towel under door, window open, whatever makes you feel comfortable.
    Like the poster above mentioned, just ask about party life or start bringing up stories about it. Either way it will come up.
     
    Good luck dont be stupid
     
  4. Kinda what I'm expecting. It's college and we're all young so I'm sure there will be no problem, but like I said it's Texas and there's still people who will call 911 if they see you smoking a joint alone in a park. Living with them I'm sure I'll be able to find out how they feel about it, and time will tell eventually. Gonna lay low the first week or so though to be sure.
     
  5. Make sure you update us on whether they are cool with it or not. I kind of wanna see the outcome. Lol
    Watch one of them be a member of GC !
