Probably not a bad idea to have two going to every room in case something happens to one, but a small switch in each room will help and reduce the need to run extra. There are also possible issues with using switches. If someone connects one switchport to another switchport that can cause issues that will bring your network to its knees (which are fixed by unplugging the cable connecting two ports).
