I chose to live by myself (rather than live in the dorms or with roommates) so that I could have an alcohol free home.
Let us know what you decide to do.
I Agee living in dorm Is not recommended and an alcohol free home is the way to go. When people know you don't drink the partiers will drop you like a hot potato. The non partiers won't care and you can develop sober relationships
