BAD.
Maybe it's a guy thing, or maybe it's just me, but it was hell sharing a 12'x10' space with another human being, and it really took a toll on our friendship.

I still am, going strong in our fourth year. When we decided to do it, everybody just kept on about how it would break us apart and all that, yada yada yada. It was ridiculous. I knew then that our friendship was and is so deep that there's never been any problems, at all. It was a great idea.
But then again, we're pretty much good roommates anyways- we're both the type of people who let little things slide, who can laugh at ourselves, who compromise, and both of us hate drama and confrontation. So we get along splendidly, even though she's a bit messy and I'm (apparently) a little anal about cleanliness, even though she loves to stay up late, and I go to bed early, and so on.
If you think you can do it, do it. The only thing that I'd caution is that if you want to go to college and have that whole 'experience' of branching out and all that, be careful. Sometimes taking a friend along with you, especially one in such close proximity, means you sort of use her/him as a crutch instead of 'getting out there'. I never cared to, and I'm glad to have my best buddy with me, but she/he might 'hold you back', so to speak, if you both don't develop your own lives.
Hope that helps, and good luck!

Freshman year: ALWAYS a bad idea, if only because it might isolate you both from making other friends.
After that: it definitely depends on the circumstances. I knew my friends well enough to know that I would have no problems with them. I was worried they might have some problems with me (which...there may have been some minor ones) but they're also the types of people to let me know right away instead of stewing over it. If you're friends are blunt, honest people, it's probably better. Likewise for you.

Bad Idea, the saying is true that you really don't know a person until you live with them.
I for one am very clean and I like my place to smell good. Most of my buds aren't like that they just kind of treat thier place like whatever until some ladies are rolling thru.
Sometime in college it's best to live with someone you don't know.

I was best friends with my collage roommate when we were in high school, she is still my best friend, still my room mate, soul mate and mistress. For me it was not just a good idea but wasn't even a choice. For others...I would stay close but room mates fight, even close ones. Sometimes you need a place where they are not going to be. Just my view on it.

I had a roommate before and needless to say that situation gets old real soon. At some point you will want your own space and privacy. My best advice would be if you can't afford your own place right now.. try it out.. Just keep saving up for your own place so when you get ready you will be able to afford it
