Going to college soon for freshman year.
Planning on rooming with a close friend of mine
Everyone keeps telling me that by the end we will en up hating each other.
How can I prevent this or keep our friendship stable when rooming together in college?
Trust me dude, you won't be able to do that. Make someone else your roommate but try to have close by rooms if that is possible. That's way better because you make new friends like this and you won't have fights with a good friend, but you are still close by.
accept each others privacy

See how tidy he keeps his room vs how tidy you keep yours. If there's a big difference you're going to end up hating each other, because the one that has higher cleaning standards is going to end up doing most of the cleaning and seriously resenting the other one.
