She is one of my BFFs, although we sometimes don't stay in touch as well as we should - she's in a double masters program at an Ivy league across the country and I just had a baby! But we always pick up where we left off when we visit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-friends-with-college-roommates#post-2144968 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 12:49:11 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2144968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The 4 girls I shared a house with our senior year are still 4 of my best friends today. We're a bit spread out, but we try to get together with the 5 of us and our husbands and kids at least twice/year. I live super close to one of them and see her often. I wish we all lived closer to see each other more often. We've been through over 15 years of life, and I love them dearly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-friends-with-college-roommates#post-2144956 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 12:43:45 +0000 Ajsmommy 2144956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I say that ALL the time!!! LOL</p> <p>ETA: but I do think it would have helped me keep some relationships that I lost </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-friends-with-college-roommates#post-2144955 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 12:42:12 +0000 kentuckygirl 2144955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!

Not even fb friends. I'm so old it was before texting and fb so we lost touch about 3 years after college. Later found each other on fb but I didn't invite her to my wedding and we had it out and she unfriended me... booooooo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-friends-with-college-roommates#post-2144937 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 12:25:52 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2144937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I was in a suite of 8 randomly picked girls and we "adopted" 2 more girls who lived off-campus. 5 of us are still really good friends and get together for a girl's weekend each year even though we are spread across the US and 1 in Canada. We have thrown each other's baby and bridal showers, traveled internationally to see each other. They are some of my best friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-friends-with-college-roommates#post-2144931 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 12:21:21 +0000 Mamaof2 2144931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Freshman roommate - no!!!

I was SO upset, but she ended up being one of my best college friends, and we're still close 12 years later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-friends-with-college-roommates#post-2144915 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 12:10:17 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2144915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lived with so many roommates in college. (Big shared houses). But I count at least 3 amongst my good friends and another several as Facebook level friends. And we're talking 1988-1993, so this was a long time ago!</p> <p>One of my closest girlfriends is my roommate from medical school. I can't believe she and I have been so close for 14 years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-friends-with-college-roommates#post-2144914 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 12:10:10 +0000 lilteacherbee 2144914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One is my BFF. She was a friend from kindergarten all the way through high school. When we decided to go to the same college, we requested to be roommates. Never had any major arguments or anything. She was my roommate freshman year and then her and two more friends (one from middle school) and I lived together my other 2 years (I graduated a year early). We are still super close, live in the same neighborhood, and are having babies within 2 months of each other :heart: </p> <p>The other roommates? Nope. I was close to one until last year (the friend from middle school), but we've just grown apart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-friends-with-college-roommates#post-2144912 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 12:08:17 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2144912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YEAH!

One of them I had a falling out with around the time of her wedding back in 2007. She contacted me on LinkedIn when she reentered the workforce. My other ones I'm still close with too. I'm probably closest to my best friend who I met in a class and never lived with, go figure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-friends-with-college-roommates#post-2144856 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 11:23:24 +0000 Torchwood 2144856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of mine is here visiting right now! She's my absolute best friend. I'm FB friends with another, and don't talk to the last one at all. But we didn't get along terribly well in college, so we made no effort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/still-friends-with-college-roommates#post-2144845 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 11:18:49 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2144845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still good friends with one roommate from sophomore year, but we were friends since junior high.
