The Roommate Dilemma: Random Roommates vs. Living with Friends

Until a while ago, what was assigned to a college classmate was like a blind date over the academic year. If you are lucky you can chat on the phone before you move, otherwise you will learn to see if there is compatibility if you rotate the keys of the dorm.

Today, college students are fortunate to have many choices to meet or interact with future roommates. In a survey of more than 800 users by Niche, 31% said that Facebook is the best way to contact the new roommate, 28% knew their room before starting school recognized.

So, for roommates, which is better: do you randomly assign 1 or you choose one yourself?

"The fastest way to break friendship is to live together." These are clever words from the Accommodation Life FAQ page of Hamilton University. This school in Clinton, New York insists against the opposite friend living in the university. Therefore, friends can not live together in the dormitory.

Those who decide to be randomly assigned to residential partners have started a whole new experience, that is what the university should have done. Since the advent of フ ェ イ ス ブ ッ ク and other social media networks, some schools have not conceded within the tradition of room allocation. In Stanford, you will not receive the duties of a roommate before moving in. You may have encountered the worst roommate, but you definitely have the same opportunity to find the best roommate. In any case, you will learn a lot about living with someone, but you will know more about yourself in the process.

If you hate your situation, you may spend all year feeling the discomfort you may distract you.

Although universities may be difficult, why participate in a bad living environment? This is one reason why the University of Florida added RoomSync to the roommate process. (Another reason is complaints from parents who are disappointed with the roommate competition.)

RoomSync is a matching experience that allows students to find and connect to roommates before entering campus. According to a case study of the University of Florida RoomSync in 2012, 97% of UF students studied found roommates in the app, became best friends, mutual respect with roommates. More and more schools have chosen such roommates and companies like RoomSync and RoomSurf are building the entire business platform to help students gain the best experience possible.

If they are high school friends, the situation may prevent you from exceeding your high school self.

Since the announcement of Facebook in 2004 the university's roommate process has changed dramatically and students have been able to shop at the window before going to campus. However, it is not always easy for students to live with other people, whether or not they choose roommates. The key to achieving this goal is to use open communication and to recognize it the same as everything else in life. This is only temporary.

Please note that everyone's situation is different regardless of whether you choose to pick a random or roommate. You may love roommates as friends, but I think it is difficult to keep close friends by being with them. At the same time, in order to stick to it, never feel that you should stay in the situation of bad roommate. This is not worth it. Please do your best.

Last spring I participated in a speed date event held at East John Buehler Johnston to find this year 's roommate. I did not choose a roommate from the people I met but that was only because I like casual roommates. Fortunately, I am very lucky with a cool international student from Trinidad and Tobago.

Okay, I think that the advice I gave you is random in relation to the various fields of your college life. First is roommate. First impressions are important, but that is not all. Give your roommates a chance they deserve, they are likely to do the same for you. There is a long way to general courtesy. You do not have to be a roommate and your best friend, but you may become friends. You do not have to go wrong. Please do not let go of the drama. Do not forget that there is an easy way to solve the problem. For example, go to another room. It is very important that you want to make friends with your roommate in a comfortable and safe living environment.
