Dorm randomly or with a friend?

Friend = someone that's not very close but we get along pretty well
Random = possibility that I might get some kleptomaniac/sociopath or something

I'm not exactly the social butterfly type but I'm not your typical AT social recluse either. Is it easier to meet people through a random roomate (hopefully he's some ninja or something) or with a roomate that you're well acquainted with?

Now with 100% more pole
 
Rooming with a friend, especially your best friend can suck bad. You get annoyed a lot easier when it is someone you know, plus you're already spending alot of time with them already.
 
I'm rooming with a fridnf rom my junior college. Since half of the rest of the kids here hate their roomies I'm glad I did that.
 
If I end up hating my random roomate, is it easy to get rid of him without killing his family or would it differ from college to college?
 
If you room randomly, you might make a friend. if you room with a friend, you will probably lose a friend.

It's usually pretty easy to change roommates if you DON'T get along.
 
friend.

I was grouped with a random roommate freshman year since I didn't know anyone in the college yet, and it was probably one of the worst experiences of my college career. we totally hated eachother.

at the end of fall semeester, we petitioned the guy in charge of our residence hall to allow one of us to move into a different dorm. it's not standard to move between semesters, but the guy made an exception for us. I moved in with another stranger in a different building. not nearly as bad as the first roommate, but he smelled bad and was kinda sociopathic.

sophomore year and first semester of junior year, I lived with a friend. my junior year roommate went crazy and dropped out to be institutionalized, so they stuck me with yet another stranger. this guy was disgusting -- never cleaned, was really hairy and dirty, and was a gay pedophile. senior year I went back to living with a friend, and it was great 🙂 2 years after graduation and I'm still living with the person I was living with during senior year.
 
First year - random, hated it
Second year - friend, hated it
Third year - different friend, hated it (but he WAS unstable, flipped out on me, suffered from severe depression, etc)
Fourth year - same friend as second year, enjoyed it.

I think the key is rooming with someone you know and like, but aren't close friends with. That's why my roommate from sophomore year was such a good roommate senior year. Going with a close friend is a risk, because if you don't get along as roommates it could ruin the friendship.
 
He's not exactly a close friend but we know each other pretty well. From all these responses, I can conclude that it's an entirely subjective experience. Which does not make this "decision process" any easier 🙂
