Roomate or solo-dolo? Forum

sflyr2016 · Post by **sflyr2016** » Wed May 22, 2013 2:56 pm

Hey guys, I have narrowed down my living options to either rooming in a fully furnished 2/2 with someone that I met through my cousin who is from my same city and as such, we should have a good deal in common. Or, a 1/1 by furnishing expenses (I know, GREAT friend!).

My concerns are: Focus vs. not being completely isolated. This person is a 2L so he may be able to give me the ins and outs of first year and how the exams were for certain professors if I end up with the same ones. My only concern about having a roommate is the potential for becoming more distracted and not focusing as much as I would otherwise by being alone.

The TLS community has been a tremendous resource for me to-this-point in my law school venture, so I figure that I would reach out and see what your thoughts are.

Thanks in advance!
-Joe

Well do you prefer to live alone or with someone else?

No one can really tell you that

Living with roommates blows

If you're going to a new city, take the roommate. It's nice to have someone going through the same sort of situation with you. Going home to an empty apartment after a rough day can be pretty lonely.

I'm sure a 2L will be respectful of your space and understand what it was like to be a 1L. Save some money and spend on all the liquor you'll need to cope with 1L stress.

Haha thanks man, seems like the exact thing I am thinking. Besides, solo-dolo will come out to 200-300 more per month. That comes out to 2400 - 3600 more. But I guess in the long run it could be worth it if it helps me stay focused on studying.

Is "solo-dolo" some cutesy sorority phrase?

Oh woh woah woah
Why must it feel so wrong when I try and do right, do right
Oh woah woah woah
Soaring through paradise when I'm closing my eyes
I'm, Mr. Solo Dolo

Why must it feel so right when I know that it's wrong, it's wrong
When will I ever learn from the words from my songs
I'm, Mr. Solo Dolo.

Pretty much the exact opposite

Use the "forum search" function. There have been many threads on the roommate v. living alone debate.
