Should I live with my best friend freshman year?
Living with your best friend sounds like it could be an amazing idea. Especially if you love hanging out with them, this is great. But the thing is often times, spending 24/7 with someone you already know runs a huge risk. The risk factor is that you might not end up being great friends at the end of the six periods. I mean, when you live with a stranger, strangers tend to try harder to be your friend. This is a great example, if you know him and let's say your friend has gas. Your best friend is just going to fart. Am I correct? But if you are living with a stranger, they are going to maybe walk into the corner, do a tester, see if it smells and then they are going to expel gas. So it's just that common courtesy thing. Now living with a best friend does not risk that you might not be friends with that person at the end of the year. But if you live with a stranger, I mean it's great, because you end up not liking someone you never even know. So you are not losing anything, but there's a chance you might get along and then you get to know that persons friends. And your best friend may be living down the hall and is living with a stranger and may be they'll get along and you get to know their friends or if one of you isn't getting on with your new roommate, you can always hang out with the other person. And still have that space. You can live together whether you are a junior, senior, double senior, triple senior; you always have that option, but to sort of live with your best friend is a bad idea
