Jus wonderin if ya'll think its wise 2 have a friend as your roomate.. or should u just a random person the school picks?? :?
I've heard horor stories from both sides ! So what ya'll think!?!?!?
Im planning to room wit my friend from 6th grade. We been koo and everything. I think its gonna be fine. He is a friend but not a close friend to the point i think imma get sick of him, i dunno, i might.
Well , me and my friend both got accepted to Howard. We plan on rooming together. Im skeptical about rooming with a total stranger. Im just with the whole trusting somebody to that capacity. If we have problems we'll just have to chalk it up...cuz i refuse to room with someone else.
Room with someone you are cool with, but not a best friend or anything... Someone who will have a separate life from you... someone who has a different set of friends...
Two of my best friends roomed together, and fell out bad mid-way through first semester. And we were all best friends...
My bestfriend and I both got accepted to Hampton University, and we plan on becoming room mates. But I dont have to worry about us fallin out as friends because she and I shared rooms before, and we both were neat and we gave each other breathing space. Now my advice to everyone else who plans on sharing rooms with their bestfriend is, make a list of bad habbits you hate, and you and your room mate can exchange them, so you now what your friend can't tolerate. If you value your friendship then yall should be able to discuss what yall dislike about each other so yall can save each other the trouble of talking behind each others back!
my friend and i both want to go to howard and we talked about rooming together but now i'm not so sure. we're just too different. and it's one thing to live with a stranger who's different. at least you weren't expecting anything. but when it's your friend, that's another story. and i feel like most people coming to college aren't going just so they can rob their roommates blind. i don't think i'll be rooming with friends.
You can have a roommate that's your friend. The problem comes in when the two friends do not communicate before they set up their living situations. You should remember to discuss eveything from studying to visitation. I am roommates with a good friend from high school, and we discussed everything that would possibly come up before we entered the gates, and we are still close friends. Just remember, there will be some things that you will not like, but that comes with any roommate. 8)
