Thank you. What people are willing to tolerate for a few years in college might be quite different than what they can tolerate as a permanent condition later in life. It might not even be possible to find dependable roommates once one moves a couple of miles away from the nearest college full of similarly situated students. Then there are schedule mismatches. Roommates partying until all hours every night is a little less welcome when you can't join in because you regularly work a 7am shift. There's the lack of an option to go back "home" (i.e. parents' house) for a break, or to store extra junk there, or borrow stuff from there. There's cooking real food due to lack of college meal plans or spare funds to eat out all the time. And then there's kids. I know not all college students enjoy these benefits, but for those who did to blithely say "I did it in college" is just unspeakably callow.
