    Default Roommate or Solo?

    visit-red-300x50PNG
    I just received my dorm

    contract today from Texas A&M University, and it turns out that I have a choice of either a single room or a

    double room.

    The double room is $1995/semester and the single is like $2100-$2190/semester - so cost isn\'t an

    issue since there isn\'t too much of a difference.

    The only downfall of the single room (that I see) is that

    it opens to an outside balcony, but it connects to another room via the bathroom. This makes me wonder if this

    particular design takes away from the social atmosphere dorms are supposed to create.

    The double room is pretty

    spacy and has a private bathroom, but I fear that I will get a roommate with homicidal tendencies.

    Anyway, if

    you had a choice between a single dorm and a double dorm, bearing in mind that there is only a $200 difference

    between the two, which would you choose? Why would you choose one over the other?

    When I was in

    college, I lived off campus. It was nicer that way.I had plenty of friends and we had some great parties but I could

    close my door and study when I needed to as well. I wouldn\'t recomend anything but a single room if you are going

    to live on campus. There will be lots of other opportunities to socialize, you wont miss anything. But when you

    really need the privacy, wou\'ll be really happy about that single room.

    I\'m at university

    and I live with 3 girls and a guy.

    It\'s great!

    If I NEED quiet time, and I can\'t get it at the flat,

    I\'ll just go to the library.

    It\'s good to be surrounded by people (humans is soshul anumals)

    But single

    does have its own benefits...

    I say: take the mystery box.

    Depends,
    Some room

    mates can bring in more social contacts which can help if you\'re a bit introverted like me.

    Twice in

    college and did it both ways; first at the University of St. Thomas (Houston) and had a blast; guitars, girls, smoke

    and no sleep. Low grades. Duh.

    Last, in my late forties at TAMU-CC. A bit out of sync but staight A\'s.

    Should have moved into a double and screw the house and dog; go for the chicks at any rate.

    Or live in a tent

    on the beach if you,re at CC.
    TAMU-CC will be a beautiful campus someday if they continue to expand to

    flora.

    It depends on your own social tendencies. If you\'re the type who tends

    to initiate things and actively pursue new social opportunities, think about the single. If not, consider the

    double.

    And if you get a roomate you\'re less-than-thrilled with, you can switch.

    If you like to walk

    around naked, get a single. You can always invite friends over when you want company. I did both. Single is the way

    to go. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

    Or go with the

    roommate, rent a Les Paul and a Marshall stack, and launch into a shred-a-thon. Best of both worlds.
