Advice about moving away to college and getting a roommate
Question Posted Monday July 2 2012, 2:21 am
Well i like to go to any state to a great biology-vet school the problem is that i would have to rent an apartment and will have to share it with a roommate, it get scary since i will be pretty far from home and i don't even know how to cook *yeah amazing but i hate cooking i love doing other non-kitchen stuff*
I need advice from people who had the experience of moving to other place and having a roommate, and being far without knowing anybody, or to cook, or even survive in emergencies.. sorry for the dramatic expressions. jeje i am kinda worry
It was scary at first, being in your situation I'd never cooked for myself before, and had never been so far from home! but I prepared myself.
Try to learn how to cook easy and basic foods before you leave, rice, chicken, pasta, pork, vegetables. It'll be enough to keep you alive and you can treat yourself to some fast food and microwave meals as well.
As for room-mates, chances are they will be in the same situation as you, nervous and scared so just be friendly and you could be best friends (me and my flat mate just got our own house together for the rest of our uni life), Also, you could be lucky and they might enjoy cooking meals for the 2 of you.
And finally, emergencies. There is usually someone to help students with situations, security to stop people robbing you, and lots of help desks with things such as finance and the likes, so don't worry, find the place that deals with the problem and they'll help you through it.
Don't worry, you'll manage to make lots of friends and meet people with the same idea's and hobbies as you, its scary at first but within a week you'll feel right at home :)
