I disagree, yes there are the roommates from hell, but no one in my family has experienced it, and for those I know who had a bad experience, it was rectified and they have some stories to tell. I think traditional dorms are a great bonding experience, I was surprised when my 20 year old was ready to sign a lease for a 6 bedroom townhouse for the following year a month after college started, but closeness happens quickly in a tight environment (she was in a forced triple, I think they could all hold hands).

I loved living in my own apartment after college, but loved my 4 years of 6th floor cinderblock living at college with my friends (I had the same roommate for 4 years, wasn’t always perfect but we made it work).

At my daughter’s campus they brought students back in the spring but all single rooms, it did not go well for many who felt lonely, isolated and homesick.
