    Most colleges in Germany have options where you aren’t stuffed in a room with others unless you want to. It’s generally a tiny bit cheaper to stuff yourself in

    This is literally the same situation as most American universities.

    I don’t see the appeal unless you know your roommate.

    Ya know how all the kids these days don’t know how to socialize and are super lonely? This is their opportinity to very easily make friends when they are starting college

      Some (to be fair slightly older people) have told me that was not the case when they studied in the US and that German universities are more spread out.

      Isn’t that what orientation week is meant to help with?
