I am a bisexual femminist from a small town in California. Obviously, I'm not your typical small town girl. I guess my specialty would be advice about hating where you live, who you live around, your town/city...all that sort of thing except there isn't a category for that ;) oh and of course my "favorites" are a good choice in asking me stuff too...I'll answer questions about anything...except the stupid ones, like "He said he liked me, does he really like me?"

I'm going into my second semester of college and I live in a dorm with two bedrooms where I have one roommate and two suite mates. All four of us became very close and have had a good first semester. Unfortunately, my roommate is now moving out to go to a different school and I will be having my friend move in with me next semester. My friend I have known for 18 years and we have had many fights and many good times. Over first semester, my long time friend and I have had our discrepencies even when we didn't live together and my suite mate has heard me talk about it all so she thinks she already has an idea on what type of person my friend is. Although I had previously asked my suite mate if she cares that my friend will be moving in and she said no, she now says she doesn't think she can live with her because they won't "get along". The problem is, my friend has already moved her things in and there is no turning back. I just don't think my suite mate has even given my friend a chance so I would like to know what I can to do help solve this situation and make sure we all have a great second semester. Thanks so much! (link)

Interestingly enough I had a similar experience this semester, only I was the newcomer. I am a freshman and the three people I was roomed with are juniors who have lived together since they were freshman. It was a bit ackward at first, but it worked out. I think you should still have your friend move in. You should just keep an eye on both of them, see if they do get along. If you think it might help, because it really depends on your friend, you might want to tell your friend that you're not entirely sure how it's going to work out. At the very least you should tell your suitemate that your friend is actually a really nice person, and so on. Maybe before classes start all four of you could go someplace around campus and hang out. It would certainly help break the ice.
