[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]random is nothing like random in our day, because 75% (at least!) of the extroverts have already partnered up. so you're stuck with the internationals or kids with no social media or super introverts. and those are the kids who really could use an extrovert roomie to push them out of the room from time to time[/quote] I agree with this. A few decades ago, I would say go random - no question. Choosing a friend can lead to different expectations and more hurt feelings....there's usually more grace when two people start as strangers, and it's a good life experience and leads to knowing more people IMHO. But but but, it's so different now. People meet through SM and become friends and form groups way before stepping foot on campus. So as PP said, it leads to a different, smaller cohort being available to randomly pair with. I don't know how this is playing out these days. Thoughts on this?[/quote]
