Is it better to get a friend to be my roommate?

<p>I was going to be roommates with my friends, but my other friend (who’s going to a different college) strongly suggested against it saying that i’ll get into fights, and its gonna be akward, etc, etc…
hmm…any advice on this? Does your roommate typically become your best friend?</p>

<p>Is it hard to find new friends? Or do you have to join a lot of clubs to find new friends? I’m very excited for berkeley, but I kinda worry about finding my niche in a huge university like berkeley…</p>

<p>indeed. =|</p>

<p>thats my problem too! but i decided not to just put random…cuz i think its better that way…no awkward fights with freinds AND u can meet new ppl. where you staying at? i think im gonna be in unit 1</p>

<p>I’m gonna decide between unit 1 or 3…can’t decide which though!! I was going to choose 3, but then some ppl said it was old…but 3 is closer…can’t decide!! Any reason why you chose 1?</p>

<p>room with a friend b/c ppl at ucb are just plain weird. j/k…or am i?</p>

<p>unit 3 isn’t that much closer…unit 3 and unit 1 are like right next to each other lol.</p>

<p>it’s only 1-2 blocks farther… don’t let that be a major factor for us. now if you were comparing distance between the units and clark kerr to the campus, then is could be a bigger factor.</p>

<p>I chose unit 1 because it offered the mini-suites and it’s newer than unit 3. It’s seriously not that far from campus.</p>

<p>i’m leaning towards mini suites too. 3 people right?</p>

<p>Living with a friend 24/7 can put a strain on the relationship.</p>

<p>I put double…that’s just me.</p>

<p>I don’t wat a suit…I want double or triple…so…since i didn’t go to cal day, i have no idea what they look like…haha…can anyone help me choose between unit 1 and 3?</p>

<p>i only visited unit 1, and they say unit 2 is the same as unit 1 (almost). unit 3 is older, people say.</p>

<p>anyone want to comment on unit 3’s bathroom conditions?</p>

<p>i heard unit 3 bathroom stall doors reach all the way to the bottom…(not sure since i never went) but yea…i don’t know about the other unit bathrooms</p>

<p>unit 3 is older…and its also supposedly the most social.</p>

<p>yes… may be for this year, but maybe not for next year</p>

<p>yeah i heard that…i dont get it tho…how can they just change unit 3 to be “not as social as it used to be”??is it like written somewhreE?..so confused</p>

<p>so exactly how older is unit 3? old as in creaky floors,doors,cracks on walls, etc?? haha…</p>

<p>ok…i just turned in my housing application…i requested a roommate w/my friend in unit 3 double…and second preference in unit 1 double…
I hope i made good choices…haha</p>

<p>qusetion: on the berkeley website it says that therse gonna be construction on unit 1…would that be really loud?? should i not choose unit 1 cuz of that?</p>
