[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it's really true the HS friends always make bad roommates, then that's the expedient way to get rid of this person, no? But not my experience. I had plenty of bad roommates in the dorms, then junior year moved off campus with a HS friend, someone who is still important to me now that I have kids in college.[/quote] It's just considered more risky - because living with roommates is hard, esp when in a shared room and everyone is just getting used to independence. A bad roommate who is also a long time friend messes up more spheres of your life (your immediate rooming situation, your prior friendship, your social network at home) at a time when you're trying to adjust. Just a bad roommate is a hassle that you manage. Living off campus with a friend when you are a little older is very different than sharing a room when you first get to college. [/quote]
