i didn't meet anyone at orientation- and had to do a bit of asking around to people to find the team contact when I first started at BU (FIRST doesn't generally give out that information).. then I emailed the team leader who was a sophomore.. after a couple emails we decided to meet up and realized 'whoa' we lived on opposite ends of the hall on the same floor! it was kinda wacky.. but since she lived by the elevator, she was never walking by my room or anythign that i would have bumped into her. that made for developing a great friendship, having meetings to discuss the team or the next day's affairs and stuff MUCH easier.
So it's cool- it's also just as cool to have non-FIRST roommates or people you don't know so you always have someone to go visit if you need to get away
just my opinion- and why i like living with new people.. 'tho i'll be living with Kate this year
wooohoo!
k.. all done
