As an adult learner, you’re not going to be bunking up with an 18-year-old from Iowa in your new cinder block dorm room.

But still. There’s merit to chancing it with your roommate, don’t you think?

Freshman year, I roomed with a fellow freshman from Washington state with a penchant for listening to firey sermons on tape—sans ear phones. Year after that, I got matched with a quiet freshman whose name I can’t even remember. Jennifer? Christina? Melissa? Hmm… D’oh, can’t remember. (In my defense, I was only with her one semester before heading abroad.)

Check out what’s happening now for undergrads looking for a dorm mate.

Given the chance now, if you were heading to college and living on campus, would you choose your roommate—or chance it? What do you recommend your kids do?
