Pros: You can buy books off them (less searching and possibly better deals), you can ask them for help (if they are willing to help) with both academic and transitioning issues (although you can also ask your CA the same questions, they are actually there for that).
Cons: You probably won't be good friends with them since you'll only see them in the apartment/suite. So you'll have to make the effort of making yourself available to other people. Walking around residence, talking to people that you meet you class/tutorials/labs, going to residence programs.
