<p>As a freshman going into college, what are the responses of the people who handle dorming if you and a friend request to dorm together? Is this done often? Do they usually hate when people do this, or like it because it makes things easier for them?</p>
<p>i know it's possible at many schools and at those schools they don't mind, which is why they give you the option. but some schools just don't let you request at all, mostly for "diversity" purposes (not meaning just race btw)</p>
<p>Most schools will let you request a specific room-mate. But would you really want to?
First of all, you can tell a roomie off, a lot easier, if it was not a friend.
Secondly, you may actuallly lose the friendship with too much of togetherness.
Thirdly, you may be less likely to seek other friendships and hang out in your room with your friend from HS.</p>
<p>that's so true. even if i was able to request my friend as my roommate at stanford (actually none of my friends are going there), i still would never do it. you'll be friends with them even if you don't room together. let yourself grow and be out of your comfort zone.</p>
