How is your room/dorm mate?

I would like to know why Tex, who has been out of college since like 1938, is the one who starts all these college threads.

 

Alzheimers... He still thinks its 1938. That roommate he keeps seeing is actually his nurse. The pills she keeps slipping him are his meds.

My roommate is alright. He watches a lot of the OC and he doesn't go out much. This is good because I am against underaged drinking and such and there's a lot of that on campus at EIU. Not to say if you go out it means underaged drinking but that is the usual thought of going out on a weekend evening, or so it seems. We hang out and play World of Warcraft and such. He does leave the room and work out so I'm not always around him, which is good. Overall, our floor has good guys and if there is a party, it's at a respectful hour and time. He and I are both going home this Labor Day weekend so he can see his friends and so I can see my girlfriend.

Out of curiosity why are you against underage drinking? It wasnt the most important thing but I think going out and having a good time is one of the experiences that college should offer.

I feel I can have fun without the use of alcohol and I am meeting people in my classes fine, so there's no big deal. I enjoy staying in a bit or playing intramurals and going on my run. I am pretty simple as a person, and I just don't see the need to go dance and drink alcohol. There's plenty of other things to do on this campus.

 

But that is just me.

Last year at NIU I lived in a suite with 2 other guys. The both went home every single weekend. Not to mention everybody else in the dorm pretty much just kept to themselves. I was a transfer living in the upperclassmen dorms, which is A LOT different.
