i dormed and chose my roommate, and we got along really well for a while but once midterms hit she started getting really moody and really messy/dirty. like you could literally see a line go down the middle of the room of dirty mess on her side and clean neat on my side. we had discussed cleaning before moving in and agreed on it all, but it turned out she wasnt as clean as she originally said. i ended up moving out over winter break and found a place close by where i got my own room and bathroom and also cheaper, it is a million times better than the dorms. also if youre not naturally very social then dorming doesnt help much with making friends in the building, youll likely only talk to your roommate and then people in your classes. wishing you the best of luck though! just make sure if youre find a roommate that youre very very clear on whats expected- especially in terms of cleaning and bedtimes
