<p>im planning to go to hampshire…should i get a single or a roommate? with a single is it harder to make friends???</p>
<p>in columbida… one of my best friends (she is a soph now) had a single… actually i think in this hall they were all singles… something like that… anyway she liked it a lot because if she wanted her privicy… she would just close the door… and people knew not to disturb her… if she was sleeping or like doing hwk… if she wanted to be social… she would leave the door open, and people would come right in. In most colleges this is how it works (even if u are living w. a roomie) so yeah its really up to u and your finical situation (singles are usually more expensive). Granted it is easier to make friends… if u have a roomie… because u can meet people through your roomie… yet again… i don’t really like my roomie… we are complete opposists… i don’t like her friends… and i don’t think she likes my friends… i didn’t meet anyone through her… and she didn’t meet anyone through me…yet again… i know others who are best friends w/ their roomie… i know people who hate their roomies… its really all about u…</p>
<p>also making friends in college… really doesn’t have anything to do w/ having a roomie or not. A friend of mine… his roomie just stays in the room and watches anime all day & night & he goes home on the weekends… he doesn’t really have any friends… and it really wouldn’t matter if this person had a roomie or not… because he isn’t interested in meeting friends. In college its all about going out there… introducing yourself to people… and meeting people. </p>
<p>k thats my 2 cents…
so bottome line… w/ friends… its up to u and the type of person u r… it doesn’t have much to do w/ the fact of having a roomie or not</p>
<p>My brother and best friend went to Hampshire… and they have mostly singles. Everyone is in the same boat, and you hang out with your hall just like you would if you had a hall full of doubles.</p>
