my interviewer told me that she recommends first years get a roommate.
She said:
"You have an instant person to attend events
with, which is a good thing when you first arrive at a
new college. As a general rule, more social people
live in doubles and want roommates. These people want
to meet other people and see this as being an
important priority. These people also tend to want to
attend more social events which is crucial in your
first year.

In addition, to 1st years that aren’t as social in the
dorms that predominantly house singles, more 1st years
live in the dorms with doubles/roommates. If you go
to a dorm that has all singles (Broadview, BJ,
Hitchcock Snell) then you are with more upper
class-men that have their own friends and interests.
Again, it will be quite a bit more difficult to make
friends in these dorms."

that’s just her opinion, and of course ultimately its our decision. :P

ah everytime i think i narrowed down my choices, some other factors come up and i have to rearrange my choices again. agh

so far im looking towards pierce bj and max p and i def want a roommate.
