As an adult who went to a different college before F’book I’m interested in the answers of others. I think on line you might be lulled into the impression that you actually have a potential friendship with a roommate. Really all you need is someone with the same basic philosophy: messy v. neat, smoker v. non smoker. partier v. weekends only etc. I had a year in boarding school and two years in college dorms. The last year I picked my roommate because she would only be sleeping in the room about once a week. I think the “blind date” roommates were better and I was friendly but not close with any of them. Do you really want to be with your best friend 24 hours a day? It’s interesting that your user name is turndown4college but you’re going to WUSL. Good job and good luck!
