UConn roommate horror stories
“My freshmen year roommate shit her pants every time she drank alcohol’
We asked UConn students to share their most horrifying roommate experiences.
Let’s just say, you can be can glad you’re not that guy (or girl).
Joey Forest, a junior Communications major walked in on his roommate having sex not once, but four times. Oh by the way, it was in the living room, not their bedroom.
Jocelyn Stevens, a sophomore Digital Media and Design major could not seem to catch a break from her freshmen year roommate. On top of her boyfriend living there six days a week, she overdosed on sleeping meds while she was in the room.
“We were friends, until she threatened to ruin my life,” says Sam Desanto, a sophomore Allied Health major.
After Sam’s roommate called Sam’s parents and said she had a drinking problem, she didn’t think things could get much worse. That is until Sam came home to find her fish was dead. Cause of death? Her roommate poured acetone in the tank.
Libby Harley, a sophomore Journalism major, politely asked her roommate if she could have the room to herself to spend time with a guy. Fifteen minutes after she left, she came barging in the room naked screaming that she had an 8 am the next morning. She went on the tell Libby how big of a slut she is and ran up and down the hallway of the dorm telling everyone she was a slutty psychotic bitch. Libby’s final thought on the situation was: “she never made it to her 8 am and I never got it in”.
Jack Moore, a senior Marketing major went out on a Friday night, just like any other weekend. When he came back, he found his clothes were wet. With what you might ask? Pee. His roommate peed all over his clothes.
“My freshman year roommate shit her pants every time she drank alcohol,” says Madelyn Frost, a junior Accounting major. One of the worst nights was when Madelyn’s roommate drank four long island iced teas and proceeded to shit herself and throw up at the same time.
“I had to get her a garbage can so she could throw up, and put her on the toilet at the same time.” I think it’s safe to say nothing was ever the same.
If you’re having roommate problems, just remember, it could be worse.
All names have been changed.
