Rooming with a friend vs. Rooming with a stranger

Room with a stranger is far better than with a friend I’ll tell you. Right now I’m living with my friend for the summer in a dorm and I can’t wait to move out! I like hanging out with her when we’re not in the room together- it’s more relaxing and less pressuring. Your friend could drive you crazy! If I had to do this all over again… I would’ve said no to her for being roommates for the summer. There is a fine line here and there’s just this feeling of knowing what makes a friend friend and what makes a roommate a good roommate. Especially if you’re still trying to develop friendships.

I loved my last roommate- I knew her but I wasn’t friends with her really. We ended up being great roommates, we just worked out, even though we didn’t end up as best friends. But became friends- but not necessarily best because we had such different interests that we could almost never go out together.
