<p>My D is a 2nd semester sophomore. She found her freshman year roommates online prior to freshman year room selection and there was no drama. She chose to live with three other friends sophomore year - again no drama. She’s chosen to get an off campus studio apartment for next year (where she’ll likely stay senior year) - completely drama free. Then again, this kid is fairly agreeable and has never been involved in much drama. I have a close friend who has two daughters - one (good friend of my D) was drama-free, the other had multiple housing situations that I would not have believed had I not seen her mother trying to navigate her through them. I suspect it’s partly the student involved, partly the luck of the draw, that determines whether one has a good experience with housing/housing selection. </p>
