Rooming with a friend vs. Rooming with a stranger

Both routes have their advantages and disadvantages. I talked to my best friend about this once … Would we have roomed together had we gone to the same school? We agreed that it would have been great fun, but it would have, like you said, been intimidating to other potential friends.

My roommate this year is completely random. It’ll be a good experience. It’s a good way to meet and get to know a completely different type of person. You can still be good friends with the person from your school, but rooming with someone else opens up a ton of new doors.
