Pros and Cons of a Shared Room

Living with freshman as an upperclassman has been a fun and interesting experience for the most part.  In some ways, it has been like freshman year all over again; my roommates are much more inclined to go out than most other third-year students. This has been a good way to experience many different things in London.  But at other times, I have to commit more time to studying so there have been times where our study/sleep schedule did not match up too well.  All in all, I would recommend living in a shared room if you are planning on staying in a residence hall while studying abroad because it is usually much cheaper and has a more social atmosphere, which more than makes up for the downsides in my opinion.
