Tell me again WHY

it is that college students have "roommates" at all, especially ones they did not choose and do not really know.

Yeah, yeah. Cost savings---at YOUR expense in study distraction. Violence at the hands of a roommate in an institution you're paying to attend? C'mon. How crazy is that?

Make the room half as big and put one person in it. Same with prison cells and hospital rooms. This tradition of bunking with strangers because some incorporated entity said to do so is nuts, you know.
