<p>Has anyone roomed with 2 other people? How was it like? Did you like it or no?</p>
<p>I'm thinking about doing it to save money but if it becomes distracting (snoring at night, too much noise etc), I don't think it'd be a good idea.</p>
<p>I was in a triple my freshman year, and your experience really depends on how the room is set up, who your roommates are, and how tolerant you are. In my case, I wanted a double, but there wasn’t enough rooms so I got put in a triple. You can’t necessarily assume that you’ll get the option of what size room you get.</p>
<p>In my case, it was fine. The room was bigger than I expected (although other triples were significantly smaller than the ones in my college, so your mileage may vary with that), and my roommates and I were always on different schedules so we were rarely in the room all at the same time, except for at night. I’m also pretty laid back, so things don’t really annoy me as much.</p>
<p>If you’re a particularly light sleeper or you can’t study in the library instead of your room or you’re really picky about certain things (like tidiness, having guests over, listening to music, etc), then you have twice the chance of getting a roommate that really annoys you in a triple. On the other hand, if money is a huge issue, then it’s probably worth it. You can live anywhere for a year, and in the grand scheme of things, it’s not really a big deal.</p>
<p>My brother was in a triple converted to a quad his freshman year. In a CS dorm. The stench was apparently horrendous, and it was REALLY tight, but they were all really quiet types and kept to themselves, so it worked out OK. I think it really depends on who your roommates are.</p>
<p>My son was in a quad one year, and it was great. There were never more than three, and mostly two in that set up. My son got a part of the room that was off the main loop and there was also an entry alcove, so he really practically had a single in a suite. The disadvantage was that they had several temporary roommates, and though all worked out, it could have been an issue. Anytime you introduce more people, the risks go up that you hit a bad 'un balanced by the fact that most of them would not have stuck around. </p>
<p>But I’ve seen doubles turned into triples that are really tight and unless a substantial discount is given would not be worth the loss in space. </p>
