Since I can't reply there.

Because everything else looks much better than my current circumstances. I'd have a friend for a roommate, I know one of the other girls a little already and like her, the one and only thing that could hold me back is what I already mentioned. And honestly, I think even that would be better than my current situation, because at least she doesn't go in for just being passive aggressive about problems, whereas my current roommate won't talk to me because "it irritates her" and she won't be in the same room as me either, out of the two that we have. (And there are other little things that just bug me a little bit where I am now that would be better, but I'm sure I'd have to put up with something else in return.) Besides, my friend assures me that the girl in question doesn't do anything like wild parties, and the girl in question assures me that she doesn't depend on alcohol or weed, it's just how she grew up with that sort of stuff around.

So basically, my one and only holdout is based in the question I asked before: Is it somehow sinful for me to share an apartment with someone who chooses to have premarital sex and break other school rules in the apartment? As I already said, I don't think it is, but I want to check before I make any commitments.

Well, it's not a sin, but college is hard. It's where lots of kids do things they regret for the rest of their lives. If this is truly the lesser of two evils, go for it, just don't talk yourself into thinking it is if it isn't. Be prepared though for it to be worse than you think.

Nice people sometimes do illegal things. To buy the weed she has to deal with scumbags. Be prepared to get splashed with mud. What happens to you if the police raid your house? Will she willingly say that it is her stuff, or will she pretend she doesn't know who it belongs to? How would your school look upon that? What if the cops come in while she's gone and you are they only one home?

How are you with peer pressure? If you think you can handle it, it's not a sin, just be careful. That's more Mom talk than theology talk.

It was pointed out to me that the poster is in a jurisdiction where pot is legal. That obviously does away with my legal concerns.
