Hello fellow university students, incoming freshman at UIUC here who's planning on majoring in CS.
So here's the deal. My parents are making me get a triple, which is far from what I wanted originally, after being told we can’t afford a single. And I decided to stick with it because of the price difference. After all, it would create a greater burden for my folks financially if I had a single or double, so I just decided to take the cheaper option.
Oh well, not a big deal. The only problem is that part of the reason I wanted a single was for the privacy it affords. I'm into anime and other obscure Japanese things and also happen to own a Waifu pillow (I'm actually trying to learn Japanese btw). It's not that I'm into weird stuff or anything, I just wanted to be able to hang up my anime posters and figurines and have my pillow with me without feeling embarrassed and self-conscious about it around roommates. I mainly use the pillow for comfort when I sleep.
I know schools are more progressive and open-minded nowadays, but I can't shake the feeling that my roommates will judge and make fun of me behind my back for sleeping with a Dakimakura. I'm really hoping I don't get roomed with a couple of judgmental Neanderthals, but I honestly don't know what to expect. And it's making me nervous to think that I'll have a couple of wannabe frat bros who don't understand my interests and will try to put me down for them.
Also, I have one of the more graphic and sexually suggestive waifu pillows. I don't want my roommates being offended at the sight of it every time they walk in the room. That's why I thought it would be best if I took the top bunk so that they wouldn't have to stare at it since it would be out of their eye sight. In addition, any guests we have over would not have to see it either.
Do you guys think I should even bring it? I love my waifu pillow dearly and can't imagine myself sleeping without her if I'm being totally honest.
I guess my question is: Will my university be Dakimakura friendly?
