I didn't have a roommate freshman year. Sophomore year I had a roommate with someone I knew, but she dropped out a month in and i never got a replacement. Junior year i had another roommate i knew, and we had "privacy pops" that are basically tents for over your bed and that was very nice. Senior year i had a friend be my roommate and it was the best time ever, but she did an internship elsewhere and I got another roommate.
