| Room mates
So I have a friend who is also going to Wellesley from my high school, and I've been wondering if I should request being a room mate with her or not.
I was advised against it by students at Wellesley, because becoming room mates might lead to a broken friendship, and meeting other students will be easier if you share a room with somebody new. And also, my friend says she is a messy person, and I am messy, too, but I try to keep my stuff in order when I can and sometimes a mess can bother me. I would really like to keep my room clean during my time at Wellesley. (A clear room equals clear thoughts?) But on the other hand, I think we could make it work if we really wanted to, and I think it would be fun to agree on a decor for our room and go shopping for supplies together. And if I don't room with my friend, there is still the chance that I will end up rooming with somebody who is, so to speak, not my "room mate" type.
I understand that it's still too early for room mate decisions, but what do all of you think? What are you planning on doing about rooms? I heard that the survey for deciding room mates is really lame (about four questions long), so I'm not really counting on that to be of any help. |
