Choosing a Roommate Has everyone been telling you not to room with your best friend next year? While this isn’t necessarily bad advice, it’s not the only thing you should consider, and in many cases best friends make terrific roommates. Here’s what you should keep in mind when choosing a roommate. Think about why your friends are your friends. Some of us gravitate toward friends whose energy picks us up and who guarantee fun and adventure. While this is a great quality in a friend, if you’re an introvert

who appreciates quiet time, a friend who’s always on the go might not be the best choice for a roommate. Alternatively, if you like to socialize, it might be best to room with someone who shares your high energy.
