Dorming At College

[keithy_19]

<p>I recently got accepted to Western Connecticut State University and so did my friend. The original plan was to dorm together to ease the transition of being on our own. Kind of having a part of home with you. After talking with several people the general thought is that we shouldn't dorm together.</p><p>Just asking for advice from some of the wisest people alive. Any feeback would be greatly appreciated. </p>

Don't dorm together, but near each other. You'll have the familiar person around when needed, but you won't drive each other nuts with how you each deal with the new experiences you'll be having. I dormed with a friend. We both had a lot in common, but we took in the new surroundings in different ways. We ended up being at each other's throats.

What PapaBear said.&nbsp; You'll hate each others fucking guts if you live together.&nbsp; Its inevitable.

<p>I guess I'll dorm with someone else. </p><p>And James, I added you on myspace. It's the ugly kid with the young attractive female. </p>

<p>A good friend of mine in high&nbsp; school and i decided to room together freshman year.&nbsp;&nbsp; we 're no longer friends.</p>

<p>The quickest way to end a friendship is to live with them.</p><p>My story involves my current best friend . . </p><p>Met Freshman year living in seperate rooms . . </p><p>Roomed together Sophmore year, hated him . . .<br /></p><p>Had separate singles Junior year, loved him again, Figured we can live together again . . . <br /></p><p>Roomed Senior year, hated him again.</p><p>Luckily we're friends again now.</p><p>It's just a matter of overexposure.&nbsp; My experience is sometimes friendships thrive when you don't know every little detail of their daily lives.&nbsp;</p>

Plus, bitching about roomates will give you one more thing to talk about.<br />

<p>My first college roomate was a FREAK. </p><p>Trust me, if you know this guy not to be a freak, dorm with him.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

I have never used the word <strong><em>dorm</em></strong> as a verb.

<p>Get a new roommate.&nbsp; Dorming with your bud will just make you hate him.&nbsp; Trust me and all the others who have said the same thing.&nbsp; </p><p>Plus, you'll meet new people.&nbsp; Chances are your roommate will also know other people in college - you'll circle of friends will grow from there.&nbsp; </p>

[suggums]

since no one else has said it, i recommend not rooming with your friend as you will grow to hate each other<br />

[ShelleBink]

<p>As everyone has said, do not room with your friend.</p><p>Rooming with someone else will expose you to weirder folks or people you would normally not meet under other circumstances.&nbsp; And after your first year, you'll meet some new people to possibly room with... people you know casually and not from &quot;back home&quot; ... you'll appreciate having it separate.&nbsp; I enjoy being able to leave school shit behind and go home for the weekend to enjoy the things I love there.<br /></p>

<p>When I went to college, my friend and I requested each other as roommates but we didn't get paired together.</p><p>Instead, I got a guy who was straight out of &quot;Revenge of the Nerds.&quot;</p><p>It was an odd couple pairing that just didn't work. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Luckily, I dropped out at Thanksgiving to start a punk band.&nbsp;</p>

<p>I'm nervous about getting a 'freak' as a roomate. I don't know. The whole thing is scaring me a little bit. Just cause it's such a big change in my life. </p>
