It's monday Chalie~
Before our homework,
I wonder way of using preposition with adjective 'different' because many sentences have various prepositions such as in, with, and from with it in dictionary. It is confusing
As I had experiences with this, I prefer choosing my roommate by myself to having a roommate assigned by university.
When I was freshman in high school I didn’t have the right to choose roommate and room so I had to live with sophomore.
For this, I was uncomfortable for a year because I always tried to read her face and I even turned down the volume of alarm not to bother her. However as being second year, I could choose my friend and finally I was able to live freely. I could turn up the volume of alarm in the morning and music whenever I wanted to listen. Also I often ordered delivery foods with her on weekend. It is one of my memorable memories. That’s why I support this idea choosing roommate in person.

Hello [이름]! ^^
Thank you for writing an essay about why it is better for you to be able to choose your own roommate rather than having the university assign one for you. ^^
Alright, going to your question... You may have heard of \"different from...\", \"different than...\" and \"different to...\"
Different is not a comparative word, but rather one of contrast. you should lean toward using different from since different from is the correct grammar to use., Example: Apples are different from peaches.
The preposition \"than\" is used after a comparative adjective, e.g. taller than, whiter than. The word different isn\'t a comparative adjective, unless used in \"more different than\". Logically, it makes no sense to say \"different than\". \"Different than\" cannot be substituted for \"different from\" and so therefore it is sometimes useful as an idiom or for beginning clauses if different from would be awkward, Example: The college is more different than it was when I went to school.
The construction \"different to\" is chiefly British henceforth it is not commonly used whether in written or spoken.
To make things easier, you could use this rule:
Different from, the more common, works best when followed by a noun or a pronoun.
Example: The new proposal is very different from the old one.
Her view is so different from his.
Different than works best when a clause follows
Example: Expecting a different result than to be left penniless.
She looks little different now than we remember her from our school days.
I hope you find this very informative and helpful. You could ask me later if you need further explanation. ^^
All good things,

>> When I was a freshman in high school, I didn\'t have the freedom to choose my own roommate so I had to bunk up with a sophomore and this led to me living uncomfortably for a year where I tried not to bother her by turning down my alarm clock and also trying to read her face if what I was doing was right.
However as being second year, I could choose my friend and finally I was able to live freely. I could turn up the volume of alarm in the morning and music whenever I wanted to listen. Also I often ordered delivery foods with her on weekend. It is one of my memorable memories.
>> I was then able to choose my friend as my roommate the following year and I was able to live freely where I could turn up the volume of my alarm clock and also if I wanted to listen to music. I also had food delivered on the weekends with her company and this experience turned out to be quite memorable for me.
That’s why I support this idea choosing roommate in person.
