Getting a college roommate is random chance.
Sometimes you get lucky, and sometimes you get a pony.

Rainbow Dash enrolls at an Earth university.

Update: and then some other stuff happens.

In attempt to earn their cutie marks, the Crusaders invade Twilight's library to find a spell that can help them. To their surprise, they find exactly what they ask for. But as magic usually does, things are not as they seem. Now Sweetie Belle has to try and juggle a singing career, and caring for her filly sister,Applebloom learns the good and bad side of apple based sales and Scootaloo tries to be more than a friend to small cyan filly. Twilight better find a cure for this spell, or the Elements may never shine in Equestria again!

After Rainbow Dash continues to boast about how amazing she is, Applejack makes a challenge with Rainbow in that she has to go one day without using her wings. Being the competitive pony she is, Dash accepts all too willingly. Perhaps some more thinking should've been done on Dash's part.

He had it, everypony's dream. But what happens when fate delivers a blessing and a curse in the same breath? What is given is taken away, leaving one young colt to pick up the pieces. After the death of his father, he travels from town to town in search of answers and a way to repair his father's last gift to him. According to his out-dated map, the next stop in his journey was a small, unimportant town. A town by the name of Ponyville.

As she encounters her favourite filly Scootaloo alone after dark, she soon finds herself tangled up in a complicated network of protégés and presumed protectors, both from the present and the past.
