[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Am SO GLAD that my DC's university does not allow students to self-select roommates in advance. I think that system adds a whole layer of unnecessary stress, right when students should take a minute to relax.[/b] I wonder if that data would support non-random roommate selections leading to better overall first year experiences . . . . My hypothesis would be no. But I have no data [/quote] Yes, of course..I think almost all of us would agree. Making the kids select their own roommates stinks. I have twins--one is attending a school that randomly assigns everyone, one had the option to choose and most kids do and it added a bunch of stress to an already stressful end of senior year.
