in that case a roommate might be nice since you can split the cost of the apartment

Nah man, i think hes talking about a College-campus, wich means the school provides you your rooms idk. I would take a roomie, since you can always talk with him about stuff and your problems, well it at depends of the person itself.

PS- Most of the College-campuses uses PROXY on their WiFi network, wich means you wont be able to connect to Steam servers!
