I had some interesting experiences living on campus our first 2 years of undergraduate college.
I feel incredibly lucky that I was localed with the right person, because our roommate Trey and I got along from the start. The two of us both had similar demeanors, both quiet, and also shared a appreciate for rock and jazz music. Our college’s residence living department gave us extensive surveys to determine the best matches for living situations. They wanted to diminish the opportunity of us needing to switch roommates after getting localed initially by the college. I understand completely because this turned out to be a easily messy process for every student I guess who had to go through switching roommates after an unsuccessful first attempt right out the gate. Periodically it was as easy as one student enjoying vices like drinking or smoking while the other did not. My roommate and I were both the same in that regard, and all of us also had absolutely similar dispositions as introverts. However, all of us absolutely had different attitudes with the indoor temperatures. I was amazed when I discovered that all of us had a room with an adjustable temperature control our freshman year. This wasn’t normal on that campus, and almost a bit of an anomaly from what I heard from other students. The two of us could make it fairly cold inside if all of us wanted to, however our roommate was too sensitive to the a/c being on too low. I had to meet him halfway when I let him use one of our high quality fleece blankets that our mom had sent with me to college as a backup. At least he was warmer at night and I didn’t have to drip in sweat.
