Contacting Roomate

[Bipolarcy]

Hey i'm going to be a freshmen and I e-mailed my roomate but it was his iastate email address that was given. His phone number was listed but i'm not sure if I should call. Did you guys contact your roomate before beeing roomates? By phone or email or how? I tried looking him up on facebook but there was like 10 of them.

Since you're going to college, you might want to learn how to spell roommate. :yes: :wink:

Back in the dark ages when I was a freshman (1997), we wrote each other letters.

I was a freshman the same year. My roommate actually called me from Puerto Rico before the school year started - I was amazed she would make that expense! I would call him - it gives you a chance to establish a connection before you even see each other.

I should probably say he didn't respond to my e-mail.

Think I should call his house?

Did you observe the three-day rule between contacts? You don't want to come off too pushy and needy.

Give it a few days then call so you both know what each of you will be bringing and what you may need to buy.

1997 wasn't in the Dark Ages, but 1977 was. We wrote real letters, too. Anticipation was great fun.

Oh you upgraded from the telegraph? :yes:

 

[LindenCy]

I wrote a letter to my first roommate in 1993. Stamps were probably 20 cents back then.

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

Oh you upgraded from the telegraph? :yes:

I never did understand how to do a dash by tapping on that metal thing.

 

[stvfarmboy]

I talked to mine on the phone a couple of times to work out the logistics of who was bringing what and when we were moving in.

This is what I was going to say but then my roommate beat me to it.

I would recommend contacting your roommate before hand.

Me and my roommate just threw rocks with messages on them since we lived a stone's throw away from each other.
