I had a good Freshman roommate. We were very civil and always got along which I’m very grateful for. However, we didn’t become close friends and aren’t rooming together next year. I didn’t really develop any close relationships with anyone during my Freshman year of college to find someone to room with next year. I was thinking about going random again, but I’m not sure if that’s a good idea. I was also thinking about opting for a single.
I did and it was okay. Not great, not horrific (though she did steal my food and water, I discovered). I have a single for junior year and am looking forward to it.
If you survived freshman year with a random roommate, you know what it’s like and whether you will enjoy another year of it. Maybe this one will be better and you’ll become close! You never know.
