Should I room single or with a roommate freshman year?

<p>pakjan, you’re dumb.</p>

<p>I, again, think you should go for it. I mean unless you have some extreme cultural ritual or something that you have to do everyday that a roomate may possibly not understand, then I really don’t know what the problem is.</p>

<p>Personally I would love to have an international roomate because I love learning. And I would probably annoy to death about what’s it like where you life. That being said, you may want a single if a curious person like me would bother you. But if you like talking about your country then a roomate wouldn’t be a bad choice. lol :)</p>

<p>Dreamin in Japan, Thanks a lot for the input. I’m not gonna live in a single but I hope I don’t get 2 roommates bcuz that’s just gonna be too much, don’t you think?</p>

<p>Is there an option to pick just a double? When I applied at my school, I was able to choose between a double or a triple. Triple is obviously cheaper, but for a number of reasons, I went with a double.</p>

<p>I didn’t get any option, But triples are kinda rare and so are quadruples …</p>

<p>i think a single would be easier to live with but then again im an only child and kinda use to the independence. however i am excited to have a roommate next year. i would say pick the single if you think it meets your needs more but if you get a double really try to contact your roommate before school starts and get to know them a bit. at least if you realize they suck youll be more prepared, lol.</p>

<p>playing devils advocate… what do you mean cuse?.. just because the majority of people do it doesn’t mean it should be done.</p>

<p>I mean, At some schools you can live in a sweat with 4 bedrooms and 4 people who share a living area, which seems nice.</p>

<p>I just feel like having someone next to you snoring or watching TV late or talking on the phone late at night would get a little annoying.</p>

<p>This is a good debate there is no need for immaturity CASE, instead of calling me dumb, think of a good argument.</p>

<p>I feel like most people say to get a roommate because they have had one.</p>

<p>Living with roommate is a good decision. I want to tell something about the boarding with friends. I think you know the medical students. According to the medical college rules. Only 3 members are allowed in a room. There are some reasons</p>

<ol>
<li><p>they won’t allow to stay alone because they have the fear of suicidal tendencies in case of depression.</p></li>
<li><p>They don’t allow 2 people to stay in a single room. They have some chances of becoming homosexual</p></li>
<li><p>They don’t allow more than 3 people. If more than 3 people are staying in a single room. they will become monkey and have the chances of disturbing their studies.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>So it is better to stay with 3 member in a room. Whether you are a student or job holder. check some things through this community </p>

<p>I’m going to Cornell next fall and they have a dorm that is almost entirely singles. In that case do you think getting a single would be advisable because everyone else would be in the same situation?</p>

<p>I had a roommate first semester freshman year. She was wonderful and very polite! However by Christmas I was so wound up from not getting enough time alone I applied for a single second semester. LOVED IT. I could finally relax.</p>

<p>Some people equate a single with loneliness. To them a single probably would be lonely. A single to me equaled freedom. Freedom to come back partied out with my friends, play video games in the middle of the night with my boyfriend, do HW in my own room at night… and such. The reprieve of having a single to go back to let me enjoy going out with friends much more. The biggest thing for me was the ability to be sick in privacy! I get severely ill quite often so that was a huge issue for me before I even left for college. </p>

<p>However (since you are unsure enough you have to ask) I’d advise going with a roommate.</p>

<p>Here’s the bottom line: if you’re social to begin with, a single won’t hinder your ability to make friends. If you’re antisocial to begin with, having a roommate won’t guarantee friendship. So don’t use social aspects to influence your desicion.</p>

<p>I’m not sure why people keep saying it’s easier to make friends when you have a roommate. Unless you are seriously socially inept, you WILL makes friends, even if you have a single.</p>

<p>Honestly, choosing to have a roommate over a single this year (I had a single freshman year) was not a good decision.</p>

<p>Having a roommate helps in making friends…unless your roommate turns out to have no friends and is completely antisocial(like mine). In my case, I would take living alone 10 times out of 10. My roommate is not just antisocial, he has a habit of alienating others, which is why I try not to have company over. Problem is unless he’s in class or studying, he is always in the room.</p>
