▶ Your Answer :There is an ongoing debate
whether a university should assign student's roommate or not. Many students
prefer to choose their roommate as they want. However, I think it is good
policy for university to assign roommate.
First, it is convenient
and efficient. At the beginning of new semester, students have a lot of things
to handle such as registering for a class, meeting an academic advisor and
joining a new club. In this busy situation, spending time on choosing a
roommate can be waste of time. This is because they have to select just one
friend as a roommate among other their friends. This often leads to emotional
conflict. For example, last year, I thought that my closest friend would share
room with me. However, beyond my expectations, he shared with the other friend
whom I didn't like. This event makes me angry and I couldn't concentrate on
other works that I had to deal with. For these reason, assigning a roommate by
school authority is rather convenient and efficient.
Second, it gives a chance
to meet friends from different academic faculty. It is important to make
relationship with people in various fields. It allows us to have wide
perspective for life and world. If we choose our roommate as we want, we would
share a room with a friend whom we have already known. It prevents us from
meeting other friends who are from different major or different club. Although
there are other chances to meet various people, sharing a room can be a chance
to communicate with others for a long time. For example, my friend 'Young-Soo'
who majors in law had never meet people who were studying about art. However,
due to the policy that assign roommate, he could make a new relationship with a
new friend who majored in music. This gives him a chance to participate in
various events in music or art festival with a new friend. Accordingly,
assigning a roommate provides us chances to contact new field that we are not
accustomed to.
In conclusion, assigning a
roommate is a valuable system because of convenience, effectiveness and chance
to meet various people.
