You aren't being irrational at all. I would HATE to share a room with someone. It's a completely unnaturnal situation to be in! I like people too but everyone needs some time where they can just get rid of everyone else. It's the only way we can ... just reset, you know?

That RLM lady sounds like a witch. You were asking about housing options. How you go about discovering roommates (or choosing not to do so) is your own business. And someone associated with the university administration should know better than to promote a social networking site with the undertone of encouraging underage drinking! Just, gah, I hate when people don't know how to do their own jobs.

I think you'd like living with graduates, personally. They're a more mature group of people with a better set of life goals (yes, I went there). I find it a lot easier to talk to and relate to graduate students than undergraduates (they're so WEE!).

I actually enjoyed living alone but it definitely forces you to get out and do things. Alone time is good but too much time in an empty apartment would make anyone go a little bit nutty (or at least force them to buy a cat).

*hugs* It'll be okay! Finding living accomodations is always stressful. You aren't alone in that, I promise you.
