Im an incoming freshman like you, but Im sure the pros and cons will go as follows:

Pros: Making friends, wilding out at nights, someone to do your hair lol, etc. Cons: Sharing bathrooms and sharing a living space with nasty people, if your roommate is someone you do not know prior (mines is one of my best friends so this doesnt apply to me) then you have to deal with getting use to someone elses behavior and their habits. Theft, and also DRAMA!
