My college experience has been different than I have expected with my roommate. . Before coming to Purdue, I thought that having a roommate would give me no privacy at all. Now that I have been here for a semester, my initial thoughts on the roommate have changed significantly. I do get a lot more privacy than I thought I would which is great and not what I expected. An example of this would be working on the computer where before college I thought it would be impossible to concentrate and complete assignments however I find that if I need to work on something it’s possible to completely ignore my roommate which gives me some level of privacy. I also thought that getting along all the time with my roommate would be quite difficult but in reality we have no problems getting along whatsoever. This certainly helps make life at Purdue easier and more enjoyable.
