<p>I’ve been wondering what the cons of choosing of your own roommate (like a high school friend) were.</p>
<p>Wouldn’t it be easier because you don’t need to stress over being aware of rules or something like that because you know them?</p>
<p>Anyways, what do you think the cons are?</p>
<p>Your friend prospects might be limited because you’ll be with each other too much.</p>
<p>You might end up hating your friend after a while, discovering things about them you didn’t know before.</p>
<p>But generally its good.</p>
<p>Sometimes it can be harder to set rules with them.</p>
<p>My bad thing is knowing what your getting yourself into.</p>
<p>There are no cons.</p>
<p>My ex-boyfriend and his (ex)best friend roomed together their freshman year of college. Now they hate eachother and don’t speak. </p>
<p>Sometimes it doesn’t work out. People can become completely different during college.</p>
<p>I would recommend not rooming with a friend, Im rooming with my friend right now, and I’ve discovered so many things about her. One issue I have with my roommate is that she thinks that just because we’re “friends”, she can say and do whatever she wants to me. There are many times where she just wants to rule over me, and the thing I hate the most is that she gets in my business soooo much.</p>
<p>You can’t blame the housing office if it doesn’t work out.</p>
<p>you might ruin your friendship. I roomed with my best friend once and I’m surprised I’m still friends with her because we clashed so much o.O becareful because you’ll discover alot of things about them that you probably didnt want to know</p>
<p>Even if you room with a friend, you will undoubtedly clash with them over “silly roommate things” (there are hundreds). Or one of you might come back to the room in a bad mood for whatever reason and take it out on the other person. You WILL get tired of being in such close quarters with each other. Then you have to deal with this stuff affecting your friendship.</p>
<p>Remember, you can still hang out with your friends as much as you want by just walking over to their dorm rooms. It’s college, so branch out a little and live with someone new.</p>
<p>I agree with everything everyone said, but what about after freshman year when you room with your college friends, does that lead to friendship ruining too? THat would be unfortunate.</p>

<p>true dat. The problem is like when u r rooming w/ a friend…u tend to be really picky, and things that aren’t that important will appear to be big stuffs…like when u discover the small stuffs that u didn’t see in ur friend b4, u’d feel really…idk…disappointed? </p>
<p>I’d rather room w/ somebody by just matching the roommate search form thing.</p>
