What to do...

if you don't want to share a house with some people next year (I'm first year at uni now.)

I think cos i was friendly with these people in my first few weeks at uni they feel kind of obliged to ask me...even though we dont spend much time together anymore and im only close to 2/9 of them (2 houses next year). i woudlnt mind being in a house with the 2 im close to, but the rest of them i dont have much in common with. i have friends outside this group who have invited me to go with them and im a lot closer to them. how do i tell this first group i dont want to go with them without offending them?

Just say the other lot asked you first and you don't want to disappoint them because you already said yeh?

Just tell them. It's not like it'll be a problem for them having one less person, unless they've already started sorting stuff.

Sit down and talk to them. This is about you not them, it's not like you're hurting their feelings or anything. It's about time you started thinking of yourself more than other people. Sounds selfish, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

Yup, just tell them you've already arranged to live with someone else.
We had to do it to a girl on our corridor who just presumed we were all going to live together. It's not fun, but it's necessary.
At least the way round you are doing it it's not just one person you're saying no to, they are a group so should have no trouble reorganising.
