Just as an aside… my younger S roomed with someone he met online through the FB groups, but they were assigned to the oldest and ugliest building on campus with no A/C. I knew he was disappointed, but told him it’d be fine.
And while he did not become great friends with his roommate, they were cordial and got along fine. But he wound up loving his dorm. He met great people on his floor, friends he wound up living with the next 3 years and are still good friends after graduation. He is glad he wound up there!
Years later you will have bragging right how you suffered! While you walked uphill through the snow both ways.
