All right, here's the problem: she's a great roommate and everything, but there's two things I'm not too fond of. One of them is now one of very few pet peeves I have:
1.)She doesn't seem to have much respect for when I want to sleep at night. If she works till 11pm+, then I'm usually sleeping by that time and don't hear her talking on the phone unless she's loud enough to wake me up. If she doesn't work during nights, while talking on the phone (and always with her boyfriend) I can't seem to get to sleep. Not only because I'm not used to it, but because it's loud enough to keep me from sleeping. I've asked her one time to please keep her voice down, but I think she forgets. If she remembers, (and, I guess, chooses to be good about it) she goes into the college floor study lounge to talk.
2.)I want to be friends with her, but I doubt I can because she's spending 90 % with boyfriend 2nd semester.
Any advice?

sleep with ear plugs. you are just going to have to get over it. you don't get to pick your roommates so you might as well make the best of it. and don't be so needy

You are four in an appartment? That is your problem. On top of it, you are the ONLY girl!!!!! Listen, they are not going to change and you will mot change them. Either lay the rules down and if they don't follow, per example, you can - Buy you own toilette paper and keep it in your room - along with the role of paper you are using currently. - Sit them down and since there is 4 of you, assign each a week-end that you will clean the bathroom. - I've also had a roommate that use to eat my food, so I put laxatives in mine... I know it sounds mean, but he never did it again. - You can't expect people to act and do stuff the exact way you do them, however, when you all live together, some basic rules have to be followed and THIS is what you need to have a meeting about. If you don't say anything, trust me, it will only get worst, before it gets better. But my advice? Start looking for another place to live.

Just say, sometimes at night you wake me up, could you maybe try to remember to keep it down? She'll agree and try to. However, it wouldn't be a bad idea to sleep with headphones on. I'm assuming you live in a dorm, and your roommate could do worst things, I have some horror stories that would make you kiss your roommate for only talking at night.
Just try to invite her out more, maybe she doesn't ahve that many friends and that is why she clings to her boyfriend. If you find that you keep inviting her out and she keeps saying no and spending time with her BF, then MOVE ON!!! Because she is one of those girls who NEED their BF to feel worthy, and trust me, those girls are ANNOYING!!!!!!!
GOOD LUCK!

There are a lot worse problems than a roomate who speaks loudly. My advice is to get to know her as a person. Invite her to a movie, school activity etc. If all else fails sleep with some relaxing music on or invest in some ear plugs. If you change roomates the next roomate you get could be worse!

Ask to be transfered if possible. If you asked her once and she didnt repsect your wishes then she more then likely wont start respecting them any time soon.
