<p>"What happens if both roommates come home with a girl?"</p>
<p>Some roommates are cool enough with each other that they'll both have sex in the same room. If the girls are comfortable with that sort of thing.</p>
<p>I'm guessing most normal human beings prefer sexual intercourse in private....</p>
<p>i'm worried about it because i'm an only child and never shared a room with anymore. at my school the hall with singles is all singles so i'm guessing that other people will be looking for friends, but i just don't want to miss out on anything. if that makes sense, lol. i signed up for a roomate, but i put myself on the singles waiting list... good plan or should i reapply for housing and go for just a single? they're pretty easy going about room changes so it wouldn't be a big deal if i reapplied.</p>
<p>All singles is a great setup - if you need a roommate as a social crutch, you probably aren't going to have too many friends anyways.</p>
<p>Anyone who says having a roommate is a necesscary life experience is an idiot. Learning to deal with others and work with them is good; you need not learn how to live with others who are incompatable with you. No intelligent person who, for example, wanted a roommate for an apartment would just let some random ******* have it; they would instead ensure that the roommate was compatable, etc. Even if you really get along with your roommate as a person (i.e. like to party/hang out with them) you may be terrible roommates - incompatable schedules, different standards of neatness, etc.</p>
<p>Plus, with all singles, no one else has a social crutch and EVERYONE has to go and meet people at the same time. Just leave your door open and introduce yourself to people and you'll be fine.</p>
<p>yeh
10 char</p>
<p>chucknorris rules, keep in mind youre not getting opinions from a representative sample of a college population- youre getting people who come online to a chat forum and have time to browse and do stuff like that (myself being one of them, although i would prefer having a roommate). Certain personalities (i.e. more antisocial ones) would prefer to have a single dorm (that could or couldn't not describe you), and chances are, more people who spend time indoors on computers are more likely to be antisocial and want to live in a single dorm. </p>
<p>That's my take on it.</p>
<p>Room with someone, its more fun. You can read ghost stories to eachother. Like that commercial for Sylvan Learning Center with that illiterate kid who reads to his friends and they all get scared. Its moments like these chucknorris..moments like these...</p>
<p>...moments like these.....</p>

<p>Hey, pal, most of us are in frats and sororites and use this forum as a means of procrastination. People who have sex and drink also like singles, you know. People who are not social in nature need a double. Independent people who can make friends on their own can handle a single.</p>
<p>I don't listen to alcoholics.</p>
<p>Haha, you're a winner ;).</p>
<p>Do I get a prize?</p>
<p>Obviously.</p>
<p>Well..what is it..(29 characters)</p>
<p>hmm well i'm a counselor at an overnight camp and i spent the whole summer having a roommate and it was fine-we spent time togethera dn time apart and became better friends than we would have been otherwise. also, i was going out with a guy on staff and we were able to um....work around the roommate situation without any problems. i liked having a rommate, and i think that i can do it personality-wise so i've decided on a double.</p>
<p>roommates suck. bad.</p>
<p>Best plan - see if you can get a double that isn't just one room. Dartmouth at least has 2 and 3 room doubles, so you have a roommate, but you also have your own space. I see it as the best of both worlds.</p>
<p>rarely are you gonna be hooked up with a really good roommate. even then you'll still have your issues. even so, it's a good experience.</p>
<p>my opinion: go with the roommate the first year, then go with a single after that if you can.</p>
<p>only real problem with singles is that they are normally more expensive.</p>
<p>i'm in a single right now and I think it was a closet before they made it a room. i have the circuit breakers brick wall and everything.</p>

</p>
<p>my sentiments exactly</p>
<p>I have a great roommate this year, but I'm opting for a single next year. It's an interesting and enlightening experience to have a roommate, but for me, it is one I prefer to have for just a year.</p>
<p>the way i figure it, i'll have a roommate in 1st year then move into a house and have my own room for the next three years, and probably the rest of my life until marriage. i think it'll be a great opportunity that rarely comes along.</p>
<p>oh okydoky</p>
