I lived in the dorms for a year, and my experience had mixed results.
1) An incredible way to meet people. Leave your door open, you will find yourself procrastinating a lot by just talking to people.
2) If you have a problem with your roommate, tell him immediately, and fix it. I didn't do this, my worthless piece of shit roommate wouldn't shower. I was too afraid to offend him, but in the end it drove me insane. So I moved out and now I hate the guys guts. Oh and once I got the nerve to tell him he was still fucking retarded and didn't shower. As you can see I have a lot of hostility towards him. If problems can't be fixed, move out, once I did it I was never happier.
3) My last piece of advice, once you get a comfortable social group that you hang out with on a regular basis, move out. It might be 1 semester or 2 years but living off campus is way better.
