<p>My son and his best friend are both attending the same college (quite by coincidence…neither of them really thought they would end up there) and were thrilled to room together. They lucked out and got an on-campus apartment and are having fun cooking and entertaining. As first time parents of a college student, my husband and I were thrilled to have one “variable” removed from the situation, as the change can be a bit difficult on parents. We can also talk with his friend’s parents and piece together the “whole story” when things do get wonky. LOL! Least of the worries is limiting a social life…they are different majors, so I think they feel they are “doubling their pleasure…doubling their fun”. They are talking about renting a house with some people from a totally different major next year. It can probably go either way, but we all feel they really lucked out. One question…is it personal? Does your grandmother LIKE your friend?</p>
