Rooming with a friend vs. Rooming with a stranger

Just curious about people’s dorming experiences. One of my friends was roommates freshman year at his college with one of his best friends because at that school (and many schools?) you can request your roommate if you know a friend going to the same school. If my friend and I get into the college of our choice, we really want to room together. Do you think that it is better to have the stranger experience of a random person living with you? Will you and your best buddy roommate be kind of intimidating to other potential friends if you already seem so close? I don’t know, any comments on which route you are taking or what you think about this potential predicament?
