    Games consoles in rooms?
    Hey I was just wondering, most universities I've been looking at have some sort of area with a games console for everyone to play so wondered if many people really have consoles in their rooms? Cos I'd like to take mine to play by myself (kinda sad like that :P)

    You're going to have no problem taking a games console to university with you! Just pop it in your bedroom if you have right facilities to accomdate a tv! (And don't worry its not at all sad! Most lads i know have an xbox or PS3 in their bedrooms! )

    As has been said, just keep it in your room . If you don't tell anyone you have one with you, they can't berate you for not sharing it . Most people I knew kept their console in their rooms anyway. But they didn't get used too often, as university life kinda gets in the way :yep:

    I had my Xbox last year, as did my boyfriend and other flatmate. No one expects you to share unless you actually offer to

    As iterated by others, you don't have an obligation to live in a sitcom. If you want it in your room, keep it there. No one is going to demand you share it with them.
