Q: Should I room with my BEST RIEND from HIGH SCHOOL?
A: Probably NOT. I’ve known beautiful friendships to break up that way. In the first places, just because you’ve confined every secret since freshmen, there’s no guarantee that being together full-time won’t grow tiresome. You can get to know eah other too well. And the tings you’ve admired most about that person can soon be eclipsed by mannerisms or habits that make you feel you’re about to lose your mind if tey occur just one more time! You never knew, for instance, that she gets her shiny teeth by brushing noisily for about ten minutes at a time, four times a day, while standing in front of the TV screen or that every night after he turns out the light, he methodically cracks through each knuckle—all twenty of them.
Obviously many best friends from high school have become college roommates and adjusted nicely together, keeping both friendship and roommate reltionship intact. In case, it is not necessarily true that roommates have to be best friends. Being on good terms is possible without sharing the same interests----or the same high school history.
How are you going tp make new friends? Your freshmen year is the best opportunity you’ll have to meet the other also new people on your campus. Don’t let that time slip past you. You and the best friend may not grow and change and accept college life at the same tempo.
