College OCD home roommates solidarity stories

I don't know what to do about college. My dream school is over 1,000 miles away. However, I am so scared about dorming because I have OCD. The thought of sharing a room and bathroom with strangers scares the hell out of me. I also don't want my compulsions and fears to cause issues between me and my roommates. I don't want to become a burden or nuisance to my roommates either. Do I take the risk and go away hoping it all works out? Or, do I just play it safe and stay home for school? I just don't know.
