[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS going to a SLAC where most kids who want singles can have one. We're talking about pros and cons. I think a great roommate is better than a single. And a bad roommate is worse than a single. So a single kind of protects the downside. OTOH, a bad roommate would force you out of your room. IMO the danger of a single is getting too comfortable being alone. Any thoughts on this? [/quote] My ds a freshman with his own room and swear it has been a huge factor in his happiness his first year. He shares a bathroom with one other person. He is extremely social and has made a ton of friends, orgs, etc., but having his own space to retreat to in the midst of the madness of his urban campus has been the best thing for his mental health. On the flip side, I think my older son's roommate situation his freshman year was a source of stress for him. [/quote]
