<p>Soo I'm deciding between Mich and MSU... and it's hard because I have my best best friend who I could room with at MSU, but I got pre-admit into Ross at Mich.</p>
<p>I want to go to Mich but im terrified because i only have really close guy friends at Mich, no one that I could room with.</p>
<p>So i'm trying to find a roomate.
Any ideas? any like roomate searches? so i dont get someone horrible</p>
<p>Don’t choose your college based off of your roommate prospects.</p>
<p>That’s what I keep on telling myself but Im scared to go to college, and not having a close roomate during the first few months, don’t you think that would be tough?</p>
<p>No!!! Oh wow, please choose Michigan. I only had some acquaintances coming into my freshman year. Do a random roommate selection, meet new friends. I would much rather have had it the way I did than having friends coming in to stay glued to.</p>
<p>Ross >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> MSU for your future! You will make so many new friends! (And still be able to hang out with your old ones on odd weekends and when you go home of course… not suggesting you will be abandoning your old friends lol)</p>
<p>lissa, I’m gonna be a freshman at UMich. I plan on rooming blind because I want to meet all kinds of new people. There’s gonna lots of other freshmen who are nervous about moving into college so you won’t be alone. </p>
<p>Michigan > MSU (by far)</p>
<p>Remember your college decision can impact your future so basing it off a minor thing like “being comfortable” with your roommate is illogical. Besides, roommates that are friends before rooming together usually damage their relationship.</p>
<p>Go to Michigan. Ross is not something to turn down lightly if you want to study business. My D is really enjoying Ross. Chances are you will do fine with your roommate.</p>
<p>I have heard that in many occasions that rooming blind turns out fantastically for the both roommates, considering they are both forced to meet new people. And i’m sure your guy friends at u of m will be able to help your transition. Ross is such an enormous opportunity. Go Blue!</p>
<p>I would not recommend rooming with your best friend. I certainly wouldn’t base a college decision on it. Sometimes roommates work but sometimes they don’t. People have strained good friendships by rooming with their best friends because they are not compatible as roommates. Rooming with someone you don’t know well is also a way to make new friends.</p>
<p>I have heard about people finding roommates through Facebook</p>
<p>Yes, I have also had college friends tell me that rooming with your best friend in college damages your relationship heavily. I can’t believe you are floundering because of a roommate decision</p>
<p>ross is WAY WAY WAY better than msu. The connections, recruiting opportunities, etc. And to skip it just to room with someone you know? Really? really? Go in with a random person, its one of the best ways to make new friends and connections with him/her and the people around you in the dorm.</p>
<p>Thank you everyone for your advice

i guess I’ll go in blind, cuz i deffs wanna meet new people :)</p>
<p>good choice. you will not regret it</p>
