[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP - just throwing in here that from the perspective of 17/18 year olds starting college this is a big deal. We may not like it but this is the way roommates are found at many schools now and girls, especially, tend to get very invested, especially when they don't know many other students. My DD is at a big state school (not ours) and spent many weeks finding a roommate on Instagram and by the time they started school -- eight months later -- after they'd planned their room decor, etc., they had truly become friends. It's not really for us, as middle aged parents, to judge this dynamic or how they feel about their new friendships. Anyway - of course your DD should go to the right school for her and treat her (former) chosen roommate with kindness and grace, and it will be fine, but let's be respectful of the reality of how this all works today too.[/quote]

Well said. My kid would be sad but recover!

I think random can be so much better though![/quote]
