Moore and Yecke said they were both still toying with the idea of remaining in England for further study after they finish their preliminary graduate work, but neither one wants to make that commitment just yet. This is a big jump, a tremendous leap of faith that I'm making. For most students, learning to live with a roommate is one of the most difficult adjustments to college life. Many students choose to be paired with a roommate, rather than living with a friend. However, roommate horror stories sometimes seem to outnumber the more positive experiences.
Few students go through their college career living with the same person.
In May, however, seniors Rachel McCuiston of Columbus, Ga., and Anna Westmoreland of Florence, Ala., will finish their fourth and final year as roommates. The pair met when they arrived on campus as freshmen in Aug. 1997. We have been very blessed. The roommates say that having different groups of friends has helped keep their relationship strong. We have different personalities.
