<p>Having a double (highly likely during sophomore year) is not necessarily a bad thing. I just personally recommend against it during freshman year because being able to get along with your roommate is highly important. By the end of freshman year, you’ll know enough people to choose from, not so at the start of your college career. Also, the extra voice and perspective a roommate brings along certainly can brighten up your day and expose you to new ideas that you otherwise wouldn’t consider.</p>
