Opinions on An Issue Please?

Question

I'm in my 2nd year of college, and need a new roommate, now there is this kid I don't very well in my spanish class, I've hardly ever talked to him or anything, but he seems like a loner, like me.

Now I was wondering would it be wrong to ask him to be roommates next year, I'm looking for a 2 person room, we each get our own room. As long as I get my own room and space I'm good. Should I ask him?

If I ask him and he says no, I'm no worse off than I was before. So Should I ask?

I would get my own room, I would have a little fridge, and probraly a microwave too. And the room I want has its own bathroom, so It wouldn't be like i had to interact with him really.

Answer 1

You could start by getting to know them a little better and ask them what their present living condition status is. Sometimes just living with someone you DO know is a pain in the ***. Not only do you share a place of residence you also will share each others bad habits and will quickly develop new pet peeves. Like, what if they're sloppy and you're a clean freak...you may be a morning person and they're a night owl...etc.. I'd ask them if I knew a little more about them first.

Answer 2

It seems that you have nothing to lose by asking him, so I don't know why you wouldn't want to. The only thing I can think of is that it'd be a bit awkward because you two don't know each other very well. But yeah I think you should ask him. Just make sure that he has a job (so he pays his share of the rent), and you guys make up rules beforehand (appropriate time to study, sleep, girlfriends, cleaning...etc).

Answer 3

You never talk to him and yet you want to ask him to be room mates? I think first I would make it a point to speak to him a little and see if you all at least can get along before asking to be room mates. Just a thought.

Answer 4

Get to know him and then ask if he is intrested that would be wise
