Get Used to it or Get Out

Living with a roommate isn't something everyone can handle in college, not to mention having two roommates.

Multiple things can affect the dorm life, the biggest being the roommate. For the first time in many students' lives they have to share a room with someone else. This means sharing space, schedules, and very limited privacy. Living on campus at LSC, the options of dorm types are: single, double, and triple. Most of the freshman class is automatically assigned a double.

Space wise, a single is the smallest and a triple the largest. LSC sophomore Courtland Hanley said when asked about the benefits of living in a triple room, "One benefit is a much larger room. Also, you don't have to bring as many things from home if you all agree on who brings what." Each room definitely brings its own benefits.

The single allows he most privacy of the three, also there is not sleep schedule needing to be followed and not restrictions of room set up. Jess Curley, LSC freshman who just recently moved into a single said, "I really love having my own privacy and being able to do what I need when I need to do it without having to worry about someone else and their schedule."

The double is an experience to live with someone. They are there for when you need a shoulder to cry on or a person to laugh at a joke. "It's an experience I think everyone should experience," said LSC freshman Erikka Eddy. It offers more space, if arranged with space in mind. Same works for a triple. However, now sharing a room, respect for one another id mandatory. Disrespect a roommate by either disrupting their schedules or breaking the contract is where people begin to hate having a roommate.

It's a lot to get used to, living with a roommate and sharing the limited space given. Some don't mind it, others switch rooms. Every student will find someway to survive dorm life.
