Hey /adv/ I'll be going to Uni soon and I was wondering on whether to choose a room with a roommate or pay extra for a room to myself.
What are your opinions on sharing a room in university and what are the possible pros and cons of it?

Room to yourself. I've shared a room before and hated the lack of privacy and the odd hours we each had lead to some conflict. It was nice when we'd bro out and drink/vidya but having your own space, to me, is much better.
Your own room = privacy, you can come and go as you please, fuck without it being weird and fap if you want. Plus you can decide the 'mess' level of the room.
Just finished first year uni here. Honestly, it depends on you and the person you are rooming with. For me, I had a roommate and it was great. We got along and hung out a ton. However, if you do get one you are taking the risk of the other person being a complete dickhead and making your year miserable. My advice is that unless you know someone who you want to room with, to not get one. You usually live in a dorm or a house with a bunch of different people and u'll meet the people you like there. You can still room with them next year if you find someone chill. If you know someone you want to room with tho, its really dope. First year uni is sorta hard adjustment for some people and it really helps to have someone there you know right there. Also u automatically have a bro to go to parties with and shit that can take you home if ur too drunk (Shit happens alot)
I had an awesome experience going with a rando in a dorm. Its definitely worth a try.
If you are super OCD, get your own room. I had a blast in the dorms. Make sure to go to dorm social events or whatever shit is going on.

Don't live alone. I did it and even though I enjoyed it at the time I look back and regret it. Having a roomie teaches you life lessons an it will open up doors to more friends. It forces you to be social
