[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reason 23 out of 100 for why immigrants can't understand how you guys share a bedroom with random strangers while you're supposed to be getting a university education.[/quote]

So, where do you live while getting a degree?[/quote]

I'm in the EU and no one here has a roommate in college.  Kids rent flats where everyone has their own room because they are adults, and adults need their own (small) space.  Some unis have residence halls, but even there everyone has their own room.  What is to be gained by cramming two unrelated adults who probably have little in common into one bedroom?

Just because you do it differently does not mean your way is best.    We have roommates so our kids can learn how to get along with people who are different than you!  It is a necessary skill to get along with other and if you can't than you have recourse and can move.

Please take your superiority elsewhere![/quote]

This. This is also why in my MBA program, they assigned us groups instead of letting us choose who was to be in our group. Sometimes they even used the results of our personality tests to intentionally mix it up.

Why? Because that is what real life is like. You don't get to pick who is assigned to work with you on the next big project.[/quote]
