[quote=Anonymous]The process sucks all the way around, random or not, at the schools that let students choose. All random would be much better--less to stress about in such a big life transition. if your child chooses to find their roommate themself, have them ask potential roommates the questions on the random form--sleeping hours, cleanliness, drinking, smoking, habits, etc. Discourage them from picking solely on vibe. Compatibility of living in such a small space is key. Also depending on how sheltered your HSer is, have a conversation with your child about college habits are different from HS. Most students don't wake up as early, most stay out later, may not be as clean without parental pressure, etc. If your child goes random and puts down they wake from 6-8am, they will likely get a roomie who puts the same thing and may be woken up at 6am for an entire year...it's better to be the one doing the waking up than the one woken up.[/quote]
