Hey denty!
I happen to currently be living with a classmate, and there are a few others in my class who do also. In my opinion, it just depends on the person you are choosing to live with. If they are competitive, always studying, never studying, these could possibly all be issues. For me, sometimes (i have to admit) I do get irritated, and it does at times feel like you never leave school behind you when you go home..." have you looked at physio yet....how bout that wax buildup today huh?....etc etc" But on the bright side, my roommate also offers me another perspective, a helping hand when I just dont understand something, and we drive to school together. So my point...there are positives and negatives, if the positives are most important to you... then go for it!..
good luck!!!!!
and Irish love from me too! hehehe
