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.)

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?
