Prior to living in my chapter house, I had NEVER had a roommate and had always had a suite on campus where I only shared my suite bathroom with one other person. I'm also an introvert. So I was nervous going into the house (I also did so in my senior year of all times. lol.)
I ended up really enjoying the experience and being super sad to leave. I think it helped that I chose my roommate (someone I knew kind of well) and we had our own bathroom because we were the only people on the ground floor.
I find that when I needed alone time or had stuff to do, I could just shut my door and no one would bug me. When I wanted to be around people, I would go upstairs and study in the lounges and hang out. I'm also a relatively low drama person, so if it didn't involve me, I stayed out of it.
It's a really unique experience (very few people can say they've lived with 17 people) and in the end I was still glad I did it.
