[quote=Anonymous]Choose having a roommate. It will double your child’s social opportunities. It means they start the year with an automatic companion to attend freshman events, meals. That kid may not be their bestie down the line, but it provides someone in the same boat, for the scary first few weeks. Finally, it is very valuable to learn how to negotiate sharing/cohabitation with a person who is different than you. Don’t worry, the school has mechanisms in place for the unlikely chance that the interaction is disastrous. My dd, an only child, found herself living with a young woman who had five siblings. I was paired with a Mormon. Much of your child’s growth in college will occur outside the classroom .[/quote]
