Would you recommend rooming with a friend for your freshmen year in college?

When I go off to school, I want to have a friend go with me so I'm not alone. I don't know what I would do at a big university, all by myself. I've considered having one of my two best friends room with me but I'm not sure if that will cause issues. We've spent the night over each others houses before but I feel as if it would be a different experience if we were to live together. I don't want to be alone but then again, i don't want this to start a problem in our relationship. #college #student #friendship

Sure why not! Just be mindful that you will find your own paths and you don't have to do everything single thing together. This is your time to grow so don't be afraid to branch out and don't get upset if your friend does the same. College is about growing and finding yourself.

Katelyn’s Answer

Jaliyah,


Your first year in college is supposed to involve meeting new people, gaining new experiences. Having a friend be your roommate can be a great idea, only if you two can agree on house rules and follow through with them! I would suggest, at the very least, maybe looking into having your friend live in the same dorm or apartment complex. That way they are close and have a place for you to visit, getting you out of your room. Ask what your friend thinks some common ground rules should be, are they the same as yours? Do you know if she/he cleans her/his room? Do they know how to do dishes? Think of those types of situations!

Linda’s Answer

I will be somewhat definitive in my answer. Room with someone you do not know. College is a time to stretch and challenge yourself. Get out of your comfort zone and experience new people, new relationships. It may work out for you, or it may not. You'll learn a heck of a lot either way. Sure, have friend/s you already know close by, but try living with someone new to you.
