I agree with Psycho4Bud about the whole friend thing. I dormed with one of my good friends from high school during freshman year in college. It was great at first, but towards the end of the year, we were hardly talking to each other. Also, three of my other friends got an apartment together, which resulted in many complaints about each other. Every individual person has their own style of living...and even when friends come together, it can become quite the hostile environment.
