This fall, I will be housed in the dorms on-campus. But, there is a difficult decision that I have to make. My school is offering me a room with a roommate (much cheaper) or a single room all to myself. The rooms are quite spacious and only for upper division transfers. As a nursing student who is about to take 24 units (including pre-med courses) and joining clubs, would it even be advisable to have a room mate? This is an issue that has been lingering in my mind for the past couple of days.
Some have stated to live in a single room by myself so I could have much more privacy and convenience to study. if I wanted to socialize, people will be right down the hall. Yet, some have stated to live with a room mate to actually have that type of experience (I never really lived college life). If I have a room mate, I don't think I'll ever study in my dorm. However, I will instead study in the library. I'm the type of individual who retains information quickly and absorbs material at a fast pace, so I'm not really sweating on my condensed schedule. Also, my school is offering gender neutral housing (where they can place a male/female as room mates). Is that even advisable or would it just be highly distracting? The roommate could end up being a member of the opposite sex. I think that its just begging for trouble cause what about the sexual urges?
Anyways, appreciate your time for reading this and have a good day!
