<p>As to roommates (or rather suitemates), your first year is randomly assigned. However, everyone reforms groupings after Freshman year. I lived in a suite of six (4 singles, 1 dbl BR) as a Freshman on Old Campus. Soph year, I lived in my college in a Triple but had a dbl BR to myself as my roomie lived all year in his girlfriend’s suite. We shared a floor with three other triples and the twelve of us became fast friends. Jr year, we lived in very nice annex housing on Old Campus. A quintet, 2 lg BRs and a single. Fireplace. Very nice. My Sr year, we took the Octet in McClellan (6 sgls, a lg Dbl, 2 fireplaces, two floors, many skylights). Fantastic time, fantastic friends.</p>
<p>When I got married 6 yrs after graduation, 13 of my Yale friends (mostly old roommates) came into town to be w/me. I’ve been to most of their weddings. Our spouses are amazed at our bonds even many yrs after graduation.</p>
