"Cornell is lonely." How roommates help + advice to find good ones | My Cornell Degree (Ep. 3)

[@billt8690]

Hey Katie. I knew it! You could take an otherwise expected boring topic and created a lively and joyous "social experiment" and showed how in your roommate experience you encountered.a microcosm of life with others. Finding others, conscious fundamentals (like compatible faith and general habits), consensus on particulars, sharing work, reframing difficulties to include personal problems that inevitably arise, accommodating, not insisting on demanding justice, pick battles that are meaningful. The attitude that prevailed (a spirit of fun) is great. Katie, the "blessings of having a good roommate to share life iwth and grow together with" as Sam said is generalizable to society as a whole, something you could extrapolate to other groups. Thank you for another good Saturday morning.

Hey Katie! I'm an incoming freshman at Cornell and I love your channel! I was wondering if you had any advice abt rooming freshman year --- would you recommend getting a single or going random for a double? Also, do you know if it's a lot more difficult to make friends without a roommate?
