Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

My Sisters' college guaranteed singles after Freshman year.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Where did you go to school, ita?

McGill. Not many people lived in dorms, and it was a rare person that stayed in dorms past first year, but my building had probably 10 double rooms (never went into one, couldn't tell you the size) and 200 singles.

My sisters went to Connecticut College. The top floor of the dorms had maid's rooms.

Sharing a room was weird. I only did it that one quarter to keep my friends from losing their dorm space when two of the people there dropped out.

Icky.

Having my own room was MUCH better.

I cannot imagine sharing a room with any of the people I shared a floor with. Even the ones I liked. That door was very important.

Sharing a bathroom with 16 people was traumatic enough.

Our wings are not tired.

My boys will be staying in the Syracuse University dorms week after next. I will give a full report. They are also mad at me for making them room with each other instead of strangers. Oh well.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I miss having my own space. Of course, if I didn't have a rommate, I probably wouldn't leave the building.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I don't know how I survived 4 years of a roommate. Really.

There are days when I miss having an apartment-roommate, but that's different, because we aren't sleeping in the same cell-like space.

Most days, though? I love living alone. My entire apartment is one big nerd-hole.

This made me laugh... where's Rio when you need her? Steph, I do think living alone rocks.

I'm not so good with roommates, because I'm cranky and need my space. But I do wonder if it's much harder now than it was 40 years ago for college students to adjust because most of us have never shared a room with someone. Ever.

Though all three of my friends kids currently share one bedroom. I bet they'll make great college roommates.

I shared a room with my sister until I was about 15. I'd even share with her again, under slight duress.

Strangers? Nah.
