<p>Hi everyone, hope I'm posting this in the right spot, haha.So I have a sister who is 18 months older than me, but we are in the same grade (we're both seniors) since I skipped a grade. We get along extremely well. We've shared a bedroom since, well, I was born, and just are basically each other's best friends. We have the same interests in movies, music, friends, basically anything and just seem to work well together. We're both in the college application process and we were both accepted to one smallish liberal arts college that is looking to be a strong option for us. </p>
<p>I know our parents would like us to room together when we get to the dorms. And I'm fine with that, we would be able to help each other out study-wise and obviously would get along well. And it would be nice to know exactly who you're getting as a roommate rather than hoping your potential roommate isn't a spazz. But, would it be considered sort of weird that two sisters would be dorming together? haha. We're both out-going, social people and have a ton of mutual friends already, but I don't know if there's any "stigma" towards sibling roommates?</p>
<p>It’s not totally the same but I have a cousin that roomed with her other cousin their freshman year. They were kind of like sisters already being from a close-knit family and went to the same high school and all that. It was good for them because if they got into a disagreement they couldn’t just cut each other out of their lives. They also had their own lifes with different majors of sorority house so they weren’t around each other 24/7. So as long as you and your sister aren’t attached at the hip all the time, you two should be good.</p>
<p>I know two sets of twins in my year at my residential college. Both chose to room together first year, one roomed together this year.</p>
<p>They both had a fantastic year and they never really had any issues rooming together. They forced each other to go out and make friends and they both ensured that they had some different interests so that they could go meet separate groups of friends. </p>
<p>Now, my sis and I aren’t close and we’re five years apart so I can’t really comment on the difference of sisters living together and twins living together.</p>
<p>I also know two sets of twins and both of them are suitemates, so they’re not in the same room together, but still close. It seems to be working out well for all of them.</p>
<p>I think it’d be fine! The only thing is, make sure that you don’t only hang out with each other (or your already mutual friends), but also be open to hang out with a bunch of new people as well. Rooming with your sister or old friend can have the disadvantage of limiting yourselves to hanging out with the same people all the time, while branching out a little is most likely in your best interest.</p>
<p>If you guys have lived together all your life, go for it. I know twins on my hall who live together and it works out great, they have friends but they don’t have to deal with a lot of roommate drama. And since they share all their clothes they got twice as much closet space.</p>
<p>I knew a set of twins who roomed together for all four years of college. Nothing wrong about it! </p>
<p>Think of it this way … you’ll feel way more comfortable since it’s not some random girl. You won’t have to stress about getting a crappy and weird roommate and come on CC and rant about it. Go for it.</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s a terrible…． idea… but not a good idea either. I think you’ll be comfortable for sure, but you won’t get to ‘explore’ your territories. What’s the point of even moving into a college dormitory?IF it was me… I would get another room. Time to explore your territories (and sometimes Ｄｏ things you wouldn’t want your family to know about!）what’s the point of even living outside of your home?</p>
<p>Why don’t you choose the same building so you guys will be still close (so if you get a crappy roommate you’ll at least have someone close enough to complain to)</p>
<p>If OP is a girl, then do it. I room with my brother (not at college, at home) and it’s thru choice. There are 2 spare bedrooms, but it’s just someone to talk to, catch a joke with.</p>
<p>Yes, I am a girl, haha. And I think I am leaning towards rooming with my sister. It would just be extremely convenient as we do share clothes/makeup/books, whatever. And we would definitely have some separate social circles as I’m going down the pre-dental path, and she would probably be pre-law…</p>
<p>UKdude-it’s basically the same with my sister and me. Sometimes she drives me crazy, and I know I do the same to her as well, haha, but it’s always nice to hang out with her.</p>
<p>My daughter’s suitemate drama and her friends roommate dilemmas freshman year incline me to recommend the safe and sure over adventure first semester/year. If you get into a bad roommate situation the school has almost zero ability to make a change you will like - if you live with your sister freshman year you are more likely to have smooth sailing as you gradually adjust to being away from home, sophomore year you both might want to branch out but at that point you will know who you are getting as a roommate and not risk the “naked roommate from hell” or any other variation of freshman year disaster. Bad living situations impact study time and grades, play it safe for now.</p>
