My roommate during soph year was a freak. He moved in and immediately we had not much in common. This guy didn't shower but once every other month, never washed his clothes, ate nothing but the cheapest grossest stuff, and just overall grossed me out all of the time. The room reeked of something awful, he liked it dark all the time so who knows what grew in there, and i couldn't bring anyone over as it was just awful. Then on top of all this and the 'freak' part - he was a Rocky Horror Picture show actor for the local town players. He played the hunchback butler and looked the part. He loved the movie and could quote all the lines, wore mascara all the time, had the stockings and all in his closet to dress up as tim curry. Yet somehow he managed a fairly decent looking girlfriend, she was pretty, clean, friendly, almost his complete opposite. The night it all came to a head was I am awoken by the sound of the door closing, the room is pitch black and all the sudden i hear water running (there is a sink in the room) so i guessing its that. I manage to adjust my eyes enough just in time to see the guy has used our sink as a urinal.
How i got back: The morning after the pissing incident I go off to the gym I come back to the room to find his girlfriend there. Now after just working out you know you look all buff and sweaty - well apparently thats what this girl liked. So i played along and let her touch the stomach/chest (oh how i miss my psuedo 6 pack)and i could see it was pissing him off. But i go off and take a shower (of course flirting a little asking if he wants to come with me, she says 'yes' and follows me out the door laughing). Come back to the room and go to put some clothes on and she comes over to my side of the room and starts talking to me so this time i tackle her onto my bed, pull her under the covers and throw my towel away (i had underwear on), and the whole time she is laughing her ass off. At this point he just stormed out of the room - luckily it didn't break them up but it got him pissed to the point he asked the RA for me to be transfered out which I gladly agreed to. I ended up with a Navajo dude who only had classes twice a week and practically left the room to me because he had a wife/kids 100 miles away that he rather stay with most of the time.
lol. 2nd roommate sounds kick ass.
but seriously...you never drained the lizard in the 'ol dormroom sink before? ...or did you prefer stumbling to the end of the hallway in the middle of the night to relieve yourself of that night's cheapo light beer and jager bombs?

Oh man do I have stories to tell about my college roommate experiences
My first year living in the dorms me and my roommate had bunk beds in the room with him on the top bunk and me on the bottom bunk. It was around the end of the year and my roommate had been hanging out with this hot chic a lot. All of a sudden I was awoken in the middle of my sleep with him doing something in his bed. I quickly realized that he was having sex and thought it was the hot chic. I stayed up to see who it was if/when she left. Turns out it was a DUDE!!
My second year in the dorms I had a room all to myself but there was a common area in the middle that led to one bathroom and connected to another room that had 2 people in it. So in essence there were 3 people to this one bathroom. One early morning I had to get up for work and went to take a shower. I opened the door that led to the bathroom and there was one of my suitemates passed out in the common area. I thought nothing of it and went into the bathroom and there was piss, shit and puke all over the place. I debated about taking the shower but decided I really needed to take it because I was going to be working about 12 hours that day. After I got out of the shower I proceded to go back into my room when the door that led to my room was locked. I didnt bring my key with me to the bathroom so I was trapped in the common area...and the guy that was passed out was no longer there. I pounded on my suitmates door until they opened it and explained the situation....turns out the guy was really drunk and went into my room and went to sleep in my bed naked. Was not happy about that one!
Lastly, in my senior year I was paired up with a guy I met when I was an RA over the summer. Really cool guy that became one of my best friends. After college I wound up getting him a job at my place and we now work together.
Edit: I think I may still have a picture of the puke, piss, shit incident. I will have to look for it when I get home from work. I had to take a picture to give to my RA.

jk... I always thought it was kinda skeezy to have sex with your roommate like 5' away. with my roommates in college, we usually tried to leave the room empty for each other on rotating friday/saturday nights, or at least give the other one some kind of warning.
my worst year for roommates definitely had to be my junior year. I started out the year living with a guy who, up to that point, had been one of my best friends in college... little did I know, I'd only ever known "on-his-meds-Rob." two and a half months into the fall semester, his girlfriend dumped him and he went off his meds. after that, he became like completely bipolar. one day he'd be the normal, cool-as-hell-Rob that I know and love, and the next he wouldn't leave his bed for a week. it came to a head right before thanksgiving break after I jokingly punched him in the shoulder and he responded by violently throwing me up against a book case and threatening my life if I ever touched him again.
he never returned after thanksgiving... I kept in touch with him, and the story that I got was that he couldn't deal with the whole school thing and decided to move in with his mom in england, but my theory is that his parents saw how screwed up he was when he went home for thanksgiving and yanked him out of school to institutionalize him.
after Rob left school, I had the room to myself for the rest of the semester, which was pretty sweet, but when we came back after christmas break, I was assigned a random room mate. his name was Mat... he was a pagan, from long island, and gay, which was kinda cool, since it meant that I didn't have to feel weird about bringing guys back to the room or throwing up nsfw pics as my desktop background or any of that stereotypical gay crap that I usually play down when I'm with my hetero friends. it went well at first, we had a lot in common, had some mutual friends, and were both into embracing our geek side, but it went progressively down hill.
he didn't have a computer, so I said he could use mine when I wasn't using it, which was no big deal, but one day, I was browsing through my history looking for something completely unrelated when I stumbled on some of the websites he'd been visiting, and they were like all child porn :frown: not hard-core or anything, but highly suggestive, as well as x-rated stories / fanfic about minors. nothing illegal, but plenty disturbing.
he also got really into the pagan scene (and again, it's like whatever... I've experimented with religions and was pretty deep into paganism for awhile, but by and large have found that most of them are completely full of shit and just looking to use religion to justify their hedonistic lifestyle by invoking whatever god would condone whatever action at any given point in time). but after he started hanging out with these guys, he started wearing this dirty poncho everywhere and walking around with this stick he called a staff. he also claimed that he could talk to squirrels and was convinced that a mutual friend was a witch because one night, she knew that he was sneaking up on her without even having to look around (we never told him, and she was in fact completely able to see him on account of the fact that they were walking next to a mirrored glass wall :laugh
.to top it off, he was completely disgusting... his side of the dorm room was just this mess of dirty clothes, clutter, and garbage. he somehow came back from showers smelling worse than when he went in. and I'm pretty sure he was crushing on me. he would walk around the dorm room all the time shirtless and in his underwear and found any excuse to hang out on my side of the suit. I might have even put everything else already mentioned aside if he were remotely attractive (or hell, even average looking), but he was like completely covered in hair all over and pretty fat :gross;

nah...I have nothing against people's sexual preference but it just shocked me that he was getting it on with a guy.
sounds like you had just about as much luck as I had with roommates.
My sophmore year in college, three friends and I were going to share a dorm room. One of the guys dropped out at the last minute, so that just left the three of us, which was really cool.
This went on for about a semester, when one day there was a knock at the door. We all looked at each other like we knew exactly what was about to happen. In walks Bob. Bob was this geeky, pasty, red-haired, bespectacled, rail of a person that epitomized the term "socially awkward". He was barely capable of holding a one-on-one conversation, let alone contributing in a group of people. The reason he came to us was because his former dormmates threw all his belongings out of a 4th story window, locked him out of the dorm and would not let him back in. Bob was pretty harmless, and since we didn't beat him up, we quickly became his best friends.
Certainly, Bob had no experience with girls. Whenever we brought a girl over, Bob would sit and watch us, regardless of whether we were doing anything remotely interesting, much like a scientist would observe a lab rat. It was like he was memorizing what to do in every possible situation. Girls were literally afraid of him. He used to sit in the grassy area outside of the dorm where people like to lay out in the sun and just stare at the girls there.
He had no concept of personal space either. We used to have this agreement that if the sliding door to the bunk room was completely closed, you stayed out. Well of course Bob had no problems whipping open the door and strolling in, not even slowing down or backing out if he realized something was "going on". Hell, he wanted to set up camp and observe! Which is exactly what he did with me and my girlfriend one afternoon during a particularly lively "session". He hopped right up on the top bunk across from us and proceeded to try and start a conversation with her as she was, er, astride me.
I guess Bob eventually gleaned all the social information he needed because at the end of the year he actually got himself a girlfriend. Makes me cringe to even think about it. I keep waiting to read about him in the news somewhere getting arrested for some sociopathic incident.
Good times, good times.

As wonderfully ironic as that would be - no. That's where the cringing comes in. *shudder*
My college dorm experience was actually very good. I paired up with a gaming friend/wow clanmate from high school. I brought my decent comp speakers with me, and since we both liked basically the same type of music, we both chose what to listen to. Not much better than owning up some CS:S and listening to great music. Was pretty funny sometimes, I'd get off the elevator coming back from a class and could hear him all the way down the hall blasting Frank Sinatra while playing some CS between classes. Shit, we'd listen to anything. No one on the floor minded that we blasted gangster rap, rock, sinatra, techno, 90s music (fucking Bad Touch by the bloodhound gang, hell yea), or whatever (and if they did mind, we'd turn it down). We both liked our room reasonably clean so we bought a vacuum, both went to sleep at the same time, shared several classes, etc.
Since we were both engineering majors, we lived on an engineering floor, so during exams, everyone would get together an such and we'd all study. Almost everyone kept their doors open and people would walk in and out all the time. I'd put on a movie, and by the time it ended, there'd often times be several people in the room. We even borught back StarCraft for a time; played it over the lan.
I had decent speakers, the room 2 doors down had good speakers and the room 4 doors down had a great sub. So we'd have 1 person in the hallway count down and we'd all blast the same song simultaneously (like Under the Influence by Chemical Brothers), great fun. The only people that ever complained about it were the RA's from other floors that roamed around.
In the end, I moved back home after the 2nd quarter because I was diagnosed with celiac disease (can't eat anything with wheat, barley, or malt in it, which is basically most foods). And then since I wasn't there, he also moved home.
