You have been told that dormitory rooms at your university must be shared by two students.
Would you rather have the university assign a student to share a room with you, or would you
rather choose your own roommate? Use specific reasons and details to explain your answer.
Sample essay.
I'd rather have the university assign a roommate to share a room with me. As far as I'm concerned,
this is part of the university experience. Students should meet new people and be open to new
experiences. I like leaving this up to chance.
Actually, even though the university will choose, it's not totally a matter of chance. We all filled
out information sheets. The school knows what we're majoring in, what our interests are, and our
study habits and our goals. I think they're probably very good at matching roommates using this
information. They've had a lot of practice. Besides, if a mistake is made, I can change my room
assignment next semester.
If I did want to choose my own roommate, I'd first pick some candidates from the list supplied by
the university. Then I'd write to them and they'd write back. Through our letters, we'd find out if
we shared common interests, such as sports or movies. More importantly, we'd find out if we liked
doing the same things in our free time. Because of my investigation, I'd probably get someone
compatible with me. It's a lot of work to go through, though. Besides, the process of finding
similar interests isn't all that different from what the university does.
Trying to predict whom I'm going to get along with is not a science. I might choose someone who
sounds just like me and still find that the two of us just don't get along as roommates. Besides, I
think it would be boring to room with somebody who's just the same as me. I'd rather be with
someone who has different interests and likes to do different things. Maybe I'd even get a
roommate from another culture. After all, one of the reasons I'm going to the university is to be
exposed to a lot of new experiences. So, I'd rather have the university choose my roommate for me.
