<p>I personally would do the random, like I did. Imagine not getting along with your roommate and it’s random. Now think about not getting along with your roommated after you went and picked them.</p>
<p>There is less pressure to become best friends with your roommate if you did random. </p>
<p>p.s. everyone says this but it’s true, you don’t have to be good friends with your roommate. As long as you guys tolerate each other, don’t steal etc. you should be fine.</p>
