yeah - randomness is pretty scary in this day and age. if you can room with someone you know, you're light years ahead.
 
Don't dorm with your friend, you might just grow sick of him. Most of my friends who dormed togather freshman year - grew apart and sick of eachother lol. But if you are thrown in with a random person and thats how your friendship starts (in close quarters) then thats how it will stay and last. You prolly dont see your friend right now as much as you would if you dormed togather - you will grow tired of it since your not usedto it already.
 
I got stuck in a suite of people my first year of college. Luckily our love of videgames drew us together as friends. The 6 other people i lived with got along all right. THe following year i lived in a single. I needed that personal space after living with a bunch of people. Living along on Campus has its perks
 
It's the luck of the draw either way. Just about everyone I know that shared a dorm with a friend ended up hating it, but you never know who you might live with the random route 🙂
 
definitely random. who wants a friend all up in your business all the time, and in all likelyhood there will be atleast 1 confrontation with your roomy, you wouldn't wanna kick a friends ass
 
Well what's the absolute worst roomy I can get? Some quasi religious sociopathic beastiality hentai freak? I think I can live with that.
 
i voted randomly. i roomed with my best friend and we ended up hating each other. she moved out, and we became friends again, and still are. 🙂

or one that likes to wank on your sheets.
 
Randomly is the best way to go. You get to meet people that you otherwise never might have.
 
where is option for both?

when i was in college (hm...only year ago) i had both random guy & friend as roomate.

pros
-random guy: chance of meeting cool roomate, liek supafly said, "u get to meet people that you otherwise never might have"
-friend: it's ur friend

cons
-random guy: my frosh year, random guy who ate my food (from parents), never leave the room, takes no shower...ugh....bad memories
-friend: might not get along and ruin the friendship (it can happen)

i vote for random, if you get crazy weird roomate, then u can still hang out w/ ur friend
 
Another thing.. if you go with a random person, and you don't like that guy, you can change roommates very easily.

At least that's the way it is around here.
 
Would the fact that the campus is ~47% Asian, ~50% white, and 3% other make any difference? I've noticed that some races (Japanese in particular), are a lot cleaner than others (left out for the PC crowd). And if I was Japanese, I'd go to Disneyland.

I doubt it...every race has its fair share of slobs, I'd imagine 😛
 
i roomed with a friend, and he was the type that gets on your case for everything, you know those personalities that is like this: "when something is wrong or bugging me I have to voice it". which is fine, but one big problem with that was the hypocricy that came from it. my god, anything and everything he brought up that was wrong he does the exact same thing, its annoying and i hated him for a year. but after that we becamse good friends again, we're rooming with each other again, and its been great! So if you want to room with a friend, make sure that friendship is strong.

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

POLL asshole.

And if you're friends before you won't be after.
